Stanford Neurosurgery Spine Clinical Instructorship

The Spine Clinical Instructorship at Stanford Neurosurgery is a one-year appointment, July 1 though June 30. Please note, this program is separate from the Stanford Orthopaedics Spine Fellowship, and the VA Palo Alto and Stanford University Combined Neurosurgery Orthopedic Spine Clinical Instructorship. Our program is CAST-accredited.

The Clinical Instructorship is intended to supplement the core residency training in neurosurgery providing advanced knowledge and skills with a higher level of expertise in the treatment of diseases of the spine, minimally invasive spine surgery, robotic spine surgery, reconstructive spine surgery, spinal oncology, spine radiation therapy and radiosurgery.

Applicants are encouraged to apply near the end of residency, PGY-5 and beyond. Please allow for more time if applying internationally.
