Neurosurgery Residency
Training Tomorrow's Neurosurgery Leaders
Experience advanced neurosurgery training that sets you apart.
Leaders in Neurosurgery for More Than a Century
Through simulation-based learning and cadaveric courses of complex cranial and spinal procedures, we are invested in your excellence.
From the most uncommon to the most common procedures, we provide an extensive range of opportunities to practice comprehensive neurosurgery at the highest level.
We are dedicated to developing the next generation of therapies, and you will play a crucial role by dedicating two years to research and innovation.
Our leadership academy and bimonthly journal club led by faculty and residents will strengthen and advance the surgical knowledge necessary for evidence-based practice, while grant writing opportunities will encourage the development of your ideas and secure funding for innovative research. Our annual Resident Research Symposium provides an invaluable platform to showcase your research and learn from colleagues.
Salary & Benefits
We offer highly competitive salaries and generous benefits to our residents, fellows, and advanced trainees. Trainee salary will be commensurate with that of a House Officer at an equivalent level of training based on the HOA contract.

Residents and faculty from the Department of Neurosurgery discuss Michigan Medicine’s 100-year legacy of leadership, their commitment to advanced simulation training, and the supportive, collaborative culture that defines the residency program.
