Residency Program Overview

The Neurological Surgery Residency Training Program at Carolinas Medical Center is a subspecialty-based program designed to train skilled and compassionate neurological surgeons who aspire to assume national leadership roles in clinical innovation, medical education, and neuroscience research. Residents will be trained by a core faculty of neurological surgeons from Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates, representing a comprehensive breadth of subspecialty practice and clinical research, including:

  • Vascular neurosurgery
  • Endovascular surgery
  • Skull base neurosurgery
  • Spine surgery
  • Pediatric neurosurgery
  • Pain and functional neurosurgery,
  • Peripheral nerve surgery
  • Radiosurgery
  • Epilepsy surgery (adult and pediatric)
