Neurosurgery Pre-Residency Fellowship

Pre-Residency Neurosurgery Training

The Lahey neurosurgery pre-residency fellowship has a long history of successfully matching applicants into neurosurgery residency programs. At Lahey, pre-residency fellows are integral members of the neurosurgical and neurocritical care teams. In this year-long program, pre-residency fellows will be trained to function as junior neurosurgery residents, including performing bedside neurosurgical procedures. Duties include managing floor and ICU patients, seeing consults, home-call during the night, and assisting in the operating room and outpatient clinic.

The pre-residency fellows at Lahey work alongside seven neurosurgeons, neuro intensive care neurologists, and neurosurgery advanced practitioners. Fellows will participate in weekly neurosurgical conferences at Lahey, which include morbidity and mortality conference, spine conference, tumor board and pathology review. The Lahey pre-residency fellowship is also affiliated with UMASS Chan Medical School.

The Lahey Department of Neurosurgery has multiple ongoing clinical research studies and robust research infrastructure. Pre-residency fellows will have opportunities to engage in these research endeavors, and in the past, such efforts have resulted in podium presentations and first author manuscripts early in the clinical year.

Accepted candidates must commit to the full year. The salary, benefits, days off, and vacation time with be commensurate with other PGY1 accredited neurosurgical program.
