Neurosurgery Residency

The Neurosurgery Residency Program at LLU is a one-a-year training program with the goal of graduating neurosurgeons who are technically proficient and confident in their ability to provide excellent care to their patients. Our faculty, advanced practice providers, administrators and staff work together to provide the best neurosurgical care possible and ensure that the next generation of neurosurgeons have the tools they need to carry on that tradition. As a faith-based academic health sciences center, we believe in service to others that reflects the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus Christ, including the education and wellbeing of our residents.
