Residency Positions: 12
This program is an AOA-approved residency in Neurological Surgery which is designed to provide residents with comprehensive training in clinical Neurosurgery.The program will provide the resident with a background of fundamental knowledge about the neurosciences and the clinical environment in which that knowledge base expands.
The Neurosurgery program has as its primary goal the exposure of the residents to didactic and clinical experiences to train competent specialists in Neurological Surgery.The program is designed to correlate basic science information with the clinical manifestations of diseases of the nervous system with particular emphasis on those disorders treated with surgical therapies.
The Resident will also be trained with a basic fund of knowledge that will allow him/her to recognize, diagnose, and treat the Neurosurgical patient while exposing the resident to all phases of Neurosurgical practice. The clinical material is derived primarily from two complementary core services with residents participating on each service in junior, mid-level and chief resident capacities.
The private practice service is under the direction of the program director, Richard Kanoff, D.O. and involves clinical material at the Mercy Health System. The second portion of the core service is the University service under the direction of Warren Goldman, MD,PhD, at the Cooper University Hospital Medical Center which is a Level I trauma facility.The formal residency program teaching conferences are conducted at these two sites.
