University of Cincinnati/Mayfield Clinic


The University of Cincinnati Department of Neurosurgery and the Mayfield Clinic are currently seeking candidates for a one-year Surgical Neuro-Oncology Fellowship to begin in July 2009. The fellowship is part of the University of Cincinnati Brain Tumor Center. This clinical fellowship is focused on the training of neurosurgeons in the surgical and clinical care of patients with tumors of the nervous system, primarily brain tumors. Fellows will also gain experience in the treatment of tumors of the skull base, spine, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.

This fellowship includes oversight of the Surgical Neuro-Oncology Service at University Hospital, evaluation of patients in the multi-disciplinary neuro-oncology clinics, and organization, supervision, and contributions to the weekly Neuro-Oncology Tumor Board. At least one day per week is devoted to clinical research projects.

Our internationally-recognized program includes a well-respected neuro-oncology team, active radiosurgery unit for treatment of tumors with special focus on frameless radiosurgery, access to multiple clinical trials covering the range of brain tumors, intraoperative MRI, special emphasis on surgical implants for brain tumor therapy including I-125 seeds, chemotherapy wafers, use of combination therapy, and a 20-bed Neurosurgery ICU with dedicated critical care team.

Drs. James K. Liu and Ronald I. Apfelbaum (University of Utah) were kind enough to donate this video presentation of an odontoid resection via the transoral route. This is a great introduction to the transoral approach to the craniovertebral junction. This was made for the AANS and used here with permission.

Videos! We have a real video to watch in the multimedia section. It's just a silly thing I slapped together. There is no audio. See if it works!

CSS!! For anyone who really cares, UncleHarvey is now CSS-savvy! For the most part, cosmetics are now consistent throughout the site.
I'm going to be upgrading the "Cases" area in the next couple of weeks to make it a bit more interactive. Contact me if you have a case you want to add.
Best of luck in the match!
(PS: I'm glad I'm not you.)

Updates in progress… Site updates are in progress. A lot of it is bringing the site up to date with current web standards and hopefully streamlining and reducing load times. The bookstore is new. Support us by buying stuff from amazon by using our page. More new features are in store. You may see pages change in front of your eyes as we update the site or stuff might not even work. Do not be alarmed.

Still alive? Yes, we're actually still here, just too busy to do anything. I have some cases I'll throw up next week as well as some "new and exciting" (not) stuff. If I have time, that is.
