The Neurosurgery residency program - the neurosurgical service is a tertiary referral centre for a population of 2 million people: large enough to bring many and diverse cases but still very manageable as a single integrated unit within a sophisticated centre for academic medicine and surgery and research. A strong affiliation with McMaster University, including undergraduate medical school, clinical epidemiology, exceptionally strong thrombosis and cerebro-cardio-vascular groups. Well equipped and well staffed hospitals for adults, children, acute care and rehab facilities. Excellent communications exist within our neurosurgical group of staff and resident surgeons with mutual support and respect. There are highly motivated attending staff and enabling colleagues in neuropathology, neuroradiology, neurology, nursing, allied health, and administration. Strong programs for rotators in neurology, ICU, orthopedics, head and neck, plastic surgery play a critical part in the residency program. Recent recruitment of young neurosurgeons also trained in interventional vascular neuroradiology, pediatric neurosurgery, and basic surgeon-scientist stem cell research add to our cadre of excellent faculty. Close academic and working relationships with Juravinski Cancer Clinic and the neuroncologists at the Brain Tumour Clinic. Opportunities for extra training in clinical epidemiology and interventional neuroradiologyand ICU medicine are available with plans for establishment of a surgeon scientist program at McMaster in the next few years.
