We are so glad you are interested in the excellent education we provide to medical students, residents, fellows and researchers on the CU Anschutz Campus.  The mission of our Neurosurgery Department Educational Program is to train extraordinary neurosurgeons and researchers who will be at the forefront of the field, as skillful surgeons, compassionate caregivers, and academic leaders advancing the cutting edge field neurosurgery.
