Resident Leadership Program
Neurosurgery residents are placed in leadership positions early in their clinical training, and our program aims to provide them with the insight and skills necessary to be effective leaders during complex and challenging situations. Our residents participate in a comprehensive leadership development program throughout their residency and demonstrate increasing leadership abilities as their experience and training progresses.
