The Neuroscience Institute has a great need for general neurosurgeons that can provide local care for patients in significant growth areas of the region and integrate care plans with the tertiary care center. Qualified candidates should be able to care for basic cranial and spinal neurotrauma with the ability to perform general cranial procedures.
