Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery Clinical Instructorship

For Prospective Applicants

The Cerebrovascular Clinical Instructorship at Stanford Neurosurgery is a one-year appointment, July 1 though June 30. 

The Clinical Instructorship is intended to supplement the core residency training in neurosurgery providing advanced knowledge and skills in cerebrovascular neurosurgery.

Stanford is one of the largest quaternary referral centers internationally for highly specialized neurovascular surgeries, including complex surgical aneurysms, vascular malformations including a high volume of brainstem and thalamic lesions and various other minimally invasive endovascular procedures.  Occlusive cerebrovascular diseases like carotid artery stenosis and moyamoya disease are also a significant part of Stanford's surgical case volume.

We are currently accepting applications for 2025. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Decisions are generally made near June/July
