Department of Neurosurgery

Welcome and thank you for visiting the webpage of the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center.

Our mission is to provide optimal neurosurgical care to the community which we serve and to train physicians as neurosurgical specialists who will become leaders in their field. These two goals are interdependent. The department is also committed to the advancement of neurosurgery as part of the neurosciences at the University of Kansas.

The department has changed over the past year from being a division of the Department of Surgery to an independent department of Neurosurgery. We are expanding our clinical, educational, and research activities and increasing the number of faculty neurosurgeons.

I expect that within five years our department will more than double in size and within ten years will be one of the largest and best neurosurgery departments and residency programs in the nation.

Please enjoy visiting this webpage where I hope you will find relevant information about our program here at KUMC. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
