Penn Neurosurgery's educational programs include residency and fellowship opportunities in specific subspecialties, medical student programs, and post-doctoral research positions. Medical students from outside institutions who wish to spend time on the clinical service should complete the School of Medicine application and contact the residency coordinator, Susan Small, at susan.small@pennmedicine.upenn.edu or 215-615-4390 for details on this process.
The Penn Neurosurgery Residency Program is fully accredited by ACGME and committed to training future leaders to be outstanding clinicians and educators.
Penn Neurosurgery occasionally offers additional post-residency training in select neurosurgery subspecialty areas.
Our goal during your sub-internship is to help you learn more about neurosurgery, the inner workings of how our top-ranking department functions, and to shed light on what a career in neurosurgery will be like.
Penn Neurosurgery is led by a strong team that includes a department chair, entity chairs, vice chairs and directors.
