Resident physicians within the neurosurgery residency have the benefits of both large clinical volumes and the opportunity to participate in the training of medical students. We feel that the experience gained in the Inova Fairfax Neurosurgery Residency will rival any experience in neurosurgery training in the country. We cherish the challenge and opportunity of training our first complement of neurosurgery residents.

The academic program of the Inova Neurosciences Service Line consists of a coordinated schedule of conferences and lectures in the basic and clinical neurosciences, as well as a structured curriculum. The teaching conference schedule is structured to involve faculty participation and interaction.
Regularly scheduled conferences include:
Medical students have the opportunity to participate in a three-week neurology clerkship and a four-week acting internship with neurosurgery through the University of Virginia School of Medicine and for outside medical students through VSLO to enhance their skills in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating neurological patients.
Each year, medical experts from Inova Neurosciences' nine primary programs extend dinner lectures to faculty and community physicians providing instruction on new guidelines or illustration on new procedures or technology.
Each year, Inova Neurosciences facilitates a comprehensive radiologic and pathologic review of the brain, head and neck, and spine for those who are preparing for certification.
Inova Neurosciences' Neurological Surgery Residency Program is a comprehensive seven-year program, fully accredited by the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), which provides each resident with thorough grounding in Neurological Surgery as a clinical, surgical, and research discipline.
Complementing the healthy partnership between teaching and scholarly publishing, Inova Neurosciences encourages inquiry and research for sustaining an academic career. Opportunities are available to prepare and publish articles, book chapters, and other manuscripts.
Each year, four eminent, clinical neuroscientists are invited to Inova to participate as faculty during academic conferences, concluding the day with an invitation-only reception and dinner honoring the guest, highlighted by a final short lecture or casual talk and discussion.
