Exposure: Large volume of posterolateral skull base/acoustic tumors and open cerebrovascular cases; about 200 operative skull base cases per year; anatomical dissection laboratory.

Eligibility: Official sources conflict: the NASBS registry says foreign medical graduates outside the US/Canada are not accepted and requires US/Canada residency; the UH programme page describes an ACGME neurosurgery residency prerequisite and a foreign-trained route requiring valid ECFMG certification and some US postgraduate training. Obtain written clarification from the programme before relying on either route.
