What is the most valuable asset of the Neurosurgery Program at NYU?
The program is one of the best in the country because it offers residents a very well-rounded education in all areas of neurosurgery and related fields. This program has at least two attending physicians with active practices in every field of neurosurgery: tumor, spine, vascular, pediatrics, functional, stereotactic, peripheral nerve surgery, and radiosurgery. The volume of cases seen in each of these fields is what gives the residents a vast understanding of the options that neurosurgery offers as a career. This combined with the fact that residents spend approximately one-fourth of training studying neuroradiology, neurointerventional, neuropathology and other related fields, allows each resident to shape his or her own neurosurgical education.
