Announces a one or two year Fellowship in Neurosurgery sponsored by ELEKTA and the Diane and David Heller Foundation.
The goal of the Fellowship is to provide the capacity to determine without bias the optimal treatment with microneurosurgery, radiosurgery or embolization alone or combined.
The Fellowship consists of extensive exposure to the whole spectrum of neurosurgical techniques including micro and radiosurgery as well as open stereotactic and endovascular procedures. Experience will help the Fellow to climb at a high level on the learning curve necessary to provide or advise the best management alternative for a given patient.
The ideal candidate would be a young neurosurgeon from a residency training program of excellence in the United States or an equivalent program from abroad who during her or his residency demonstrated good skills in microsurgery. We would also consider senior or chief residents in neurosurgery residency programs.
Qualified applicants should send a letter, a CV and the names and addresses of three references to both:
