Fellowship in Neurosurgery
Develop advanced expertise in the diagnosis, surgical management, and perioperative care of brain, spine, and peripheral nervous system disorders through comprehensive neurosurgical training.
Course Overview
The Fellowship in Neurosurgery is an advanced postgraduate clinical training program designed to enhance expertise in the diagnosis, surgical management, and perioperative care of disorders of the brain, spine, and peripheral nervous system. The program emphasizes microsurgical techniques, neurotrauma, spine surgery, neuro-oncology, vascular neurosurgery principles, and critical care, with structured exposure to high-volume neurosurgical operating theaters, neuro-ICUs, and multidisciplinary neuroscience teams. This fellowship prepares neurosurgeons for competent independent subspecialty or general neurosurgical practice.
