Surgical Neuroanatomy Research Elective for Medical Students
We offer a research elective in surgical neuroanatomy and operative neurosurgery for medical students nearing the completion of their degree who wish to pursue postgraduate specialty training in neurosurgery or otolaryngology. Neurosurgery is a broad field covering a range of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions that target pathological processes affecting the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves. Medical students work alongside fellows, assisting with dissections and ongoing research projects, while completing their own surgical neuroanatomy prosection curriculum and developing basic surgical skills.
This research elective is provided without fee for medical students who wish to gain knowledge of neurosurgery, and is offered throughout the year. Admission is limited to students currently enrolled in medical degree-granting programs who have a demonstrated track record of interest in neurosurgery or otolaryngology. This elective is not open to those who have already graduated from medical school and are seeking admission to U.S. residency programs.
We accept only one medical student month, and each student must commit to a minimum duration of one month. Longer rotations are possible.
