Do you want to practice state of the art medicine?

 

Neurosurgery is not for everyone; it is only for a few, only for an individual who takes pride and responsibility for actions, only for those that give 100% all the time, and only for those that want to be members of an elite team. An AOA Neurosurgery Residency takes energy and we wish to match up that person to this field.
