Meet Our Newest UW Neurological Surgery Residents!

Thanks to the diligent, thoughtful work our faculty, residents, and staff have done to help attract the best and brightest residents to our department, for yet another year, we have matched our top candidates. We will have four very impressive future neurological surgeons joining us at the end of June. Three of these future neurological surgeons were sub-interns in our department and one was discovered during the interview process. Our next class of R-1 residents is truly promising!
