It is a great honor to introduce you to the Department of Neurosurgery Residency program at Shifa International Hospital. This is an exciting time in which to practice Neurosurgery, and at SIH we are evolving to meet the growing demands of the current medical environment. We are embracing the challenges of providing the finest neurosurgical education and patient care while complying with the new regulations governing clinical training programs. Our residents receive comprehensive training in a framework that still leaves time for didactic conferences and self-study, as well as for other important aspects of their lives. This commitment to residency education, the collegial atmosphere, an expansive clinical volume, and access to world class research programs makes our residency unique.
Our department is dedicated to the idea that it is possible to be an active clinician and an active scientist at the same time. Neurosurgeons at Shifa International Hospital specialize their clinical interests and maintain parallel and complementary research programs.
The clinical service is large and varied. There is no area of neurosurgery which is not represented abundantly.
