Opportunities for a four-week internship are available for fourth year medical students interested in a visiting rotation. Dr. Nicholas Bambakidis is the Director of the Acting Intern Program. If you would like to discuss the program, he can be reached by e-mail at Nicholas.bambakidis2@Uhhospitals.org or by telephone at 216.844.8758.
Students participate actively as members of the neurosurgical team and come away from the rotation with an in-depth experience in neurosurgery. Students observe cases in the operating room and are responsible for the postoperative care of patients under the supervision of the attending neurosurgeon and chief resident as well as attending clinics with faculty members each week. Students are given the opportunity to make a brief presentation at one of the weekly neurosurgery clinical conferences.
