Conference Schedule
The Neurosurgical Residency Program at Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center offers a comprehensive didactic curriculum with a robust schedule of neurosurgery and multidisciplinary conferences, providing residents with consistent, high‑level educational engagement across all subspecialties. Our academic schedule is designed to give residents a core lineup of conferences to build a strong foundation in neurosurgical knowledge, clinical reasoning, and operative decision‑making. Beyond this, residents can take advantage of a wide range of multidisciplinary conferences and subspecialty sessions that allow them to tailor their learning and engage with colleagues across multiple fields. This flexible, enriched structure ensures every resident can shape an academic path that supports their interests, accelerates their development, and prepares them for excellence in any neurosurgical career.
