Neurological Surgery

About our Program

The Neurological Surgery Residency 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.

Approximately 3,500 operative neurosurgical procedures are performed each year at CMC (an additional 1,200 neurosurgical cases are performed at the adjacent Carolinas Center for Specialty Surgery). Cutting-edge clinical and surgical facilities include intraoperative imaging and newly built and recently opened neurocritical care units, inpatient neurosurgery ward, neurosurgery clinics and a pediatric surgery specialty ward.

Please email the program manager if you have questions about our program.
