The Department of Neurosurgery has recently undergone a massive reorganization with the goal of achieving even higher levels of patient care and innovation. We have transitioned to a culture of deep sub-specialization and we now function as a team of highly-focused clinicians and researchers who specialize in specific areas within neurosurgery.
In 2020, the department established four new divisions: cerebrovascular surgery, functional and stereotactic neurosurgery, neurosurgical oncology, and spine and peripheral nerve surgery. Each division is headed by a national leader in the field and is populated by a team of highly-focused clinicians and researchers who specialize in unique areas with the division’s mission.
