"The most rewarding aspect of the training at Mayo Clinic is the comprehensive, combined cerebrovascular, endovascular, and skull base approach. The focus is on the disease and not on the technique. You learn how to manage the patients and treat their pathologies with all of the available tools at your disposal. You learn the nuances and the pros and cons of each approach. You learn when and how to apply each technique to your patients. There is also an emphasis on academic productivity and neurosurgical innovations."

"This fellowship program is very unique in that it provides comprehensive training on both open and endovascular approaches to various vascular and skull base diseases with in-depth training in all skill sets required for a successful cranial surgery. Working with dual-trained neurosurgeons who are the top in this field, I learned how to effectively use the tools in the most appropriate manner or in combinations to best manage the patient. With the high case volume, advanced technology in the OR/IR suites, and the engaging working environment at Mayo Clinic, my training was smooth, thorough, and effective."
