Training
- Fellowship Training program in Functional Neurosurgery. Nine neurosurgeons have been now trained by our unit and are independently performing functional neurosurgeries.
- All new treatments at the Jaslok hospital are conducted under the supervision of Scientific and Ethics committee.
- Jaslok has been a training centre for Neurosurgery since 1984. Every year one neurosurgeon is trained (after a rigorous course of 5 yrs. of training).
- The functional neurosurgery department has successfully trained neurosurgeons in the field of functional neurosurgery. This is an advanced course for a duration of one year. The fellowship is extremely sought after, with a waiting period.
