Neurosurgery Residency Program

Description of Education Facilities

The main resident’s office is located at SBMC. It has state of the art audio-visual equipment including 42” flat screen TV and the latest recording and editing equipment. All surgical procedures are recorded via either headlight or microscope mounted TV and stored on computer discs. Residents select appropriate cases and edit them for presentation at weekly conferences. This allows them to review the surgical procedures in which they participated as many times as they feel necessary to fully understand it. In the comfort of their office and with the use of other teaching tools such as books or other information available through the computer searches, they maximize their learning experience.

The office contains four independent computer stations for the residents with access to Internet, Mount Sinai Medical School library and several medical search engine programs.In addition to a general Medical Library at SBMC there is a dedicated Otto York Neurosurgical library with large number of titles and tapes. The resident’s office at NBIMC is going to be available in the near future.

The well endowed Newmann Neurosurgical Education Fund is used to pay for various educational tools, activities, conferences and others. The research is funded through the Sandra Christie Research Fund.
