Fellowships that shape the career
Spine
Backs and necks rather than brains, and a large share of the work.
Cerebrovascular
Aneurysms and bleeding in the brain, increasingly done through a catheter rather than an opening.
Pediatric neurosurgery
Children's hospitals only. Smaller anatomy, different diseases, and parents in the room.
Skull base and tumor
Long operations alongside ear, nose and throat surgeons. Technically the most demanding work there is.
