We are excited to offer training in the full range of advanced surgical technologies in functional neurosurgery, including Leksell frames, Renishaw Robots, ClearPoint MRI and CT, Focused Ultrasound, laser interstitial thermal therapy and others. Through comprehensive training in these technologies, the fellow will become proficient in stereotactic frames, stereotactic robotic technologies, frameless and intra-operative MRI based stereotactic platforms, image guided surgery and electrophysiology.

Our movement disorders program comprises a large multidisciplinary team of movement disorders neurologists, patient coordinators, neuropsychologists and functional neurosurgeons. Our group treats the full range of movement disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia and offers awake deep brain stimulation with microelectrode recording, focused ultrasound, and neurosurgical clinical trials in advanced cell/gene therapies. Fellows will learn awake frame based deep brain stimulation, intra-operative microelectrode recording and awake physiological mapping. Fellows will also learn focused ultrasound, a novel awake and incisionless procedure that allows us to treat patient tremor as an outpatient. We are also excited to offer training in advanced imaging, intra-operative MRI-guided stereotactic guidance technologies, and participation in the latest gene/cell therapy clinical trials. This high-volume practice will prepare the fellow well for advanced academic practice.

Our surgical epilepsy program consists of a large group of surgical epileptologists, EEG technologists, neuropsychologists and epilepsy neurosurgeons. Our program offers the full range of advanced epilepsy surgical therapies and technologies, including robotic stereoelectroencephalography, MRI guided stereotactic platforms, craniotomy for grid, temporal lobectomy, cingulotomy, topectomy, laser interstitial thermal therapy, responsive neurostimulation, vagus nerve stimulation and deep brain stimulation, as well as novel clinical trials in biological therapies. Fellows will learn how to perform and interpret surgical evaluations as well as decision making, surgical planning and implementation in epilepsy surgery.

Our comprehensive pain program provides training in evaluation and decision-making in pain management for facial pain, back pain, radiculopathy and peripheral nerve pain. Our comprehensive facial pain program provides training in microvascular decompression, percutaneous balloon rhizotomy and gamma knife. Fellows will also become proficient in neurostimulation for central and peripheral pain, including spinal cord stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation and intrathecal pumps. Opportunities are available to customize the fellowship to gain broader experience in peripheral nerve surgery, including nerve transposition, peripheral nerve tumors and brachial plexus.

Opportunities are available for the fellow to learn awake tumor mapping during resection of intra-axial tumors. Our neuro-oncology team comprises renowned surgeons, oncologists and imaging specialists performing cutting-edge surgery and clinical trials. Fellows also have the opportunity to gain experience in pediatric epilepsy surgery at our high-volume pediatric practice at Children’s Wisconsin. These procedures include the full range of intracranial monitoring, resection, neuromodulation procedures, led through our joint adult-pediatric epilepsy multidisciplinary team. Fellows can customize their training experience based on their interests and practice needs.

Fellows will participate in clinical trials, clinical research and basic science research, both through participation in existing studies and with the opportunity to design and lead studies in specific areas of interest. We host an extensive portfolio of departmental labs, from basic science to imaging and electrophysiology, and prominent national clinical trials in neuromodulation and biological therapies, all of which provide world-class opportunities for research training. Fellows will learn how to design, implement, analyze and lead scientific studies, building the framework to become academic leaders.
