The Department of Neurological Surgery is committed to creating a culture of resident wellness.  Residents in our department enjoy planned quarterly activities and regular lectures and programs designed to promote wellbeing. All of our residents participate in a monthly Program Director's meeting and a monthly Leadership Course. Both courses are designed to provide residents with the tools they will need to successfully navigate the complexities of a demanding career and the need for work-life balance.

Residents also participate in the Annual West Coast Neurosurgery Games (sponsored by UCLA).  The beach tournaments include, volleyball, cornhole and frisbee matches. 

We are dedicated to supporting the well-being of trainees and their families to ensure they have the tools to thrive. Visit the School of Medicine Wellness Program for additional Wellness Resources.
