Fellows receive hands-on experience in the operating room, inpatient and ICU care, and outpatient clinics, working alongside experienced neurosurgeons and advanced practice providers... Fellows also gain exposure to neurotrauma, spine surgery, brain tumors, cerebrovascular disease, and functional neurosurgery."

Not ARC-PA accredited — which is normal for PA postgraduate programs and is not a mark against this one. This specific program is not separately listed in APPAP’s member directory; verify current status with the program.
