International Education
The Bristol, United Kingdom International rotation has been a highlight of our resident’s experience during their time at UTHSC. The UTHSC Department of Neurosurgery has a longstanding relationship with the North Bristol Trust (NBT) neurosurgical unit dating back several decades.
This 6-month immersive rotation gives the resident additional focused subspecialty
training in their area of interest. In addition to this, it gives them the opportunity
to grow and learn working within the NHS health system. The subspecialty areas covered
in this elective include functional, trauma, pediatrics, spine, skull base, and cerebrovascular
neurosurgery. This optional rotation typically is offered during the PGY-5 or PGY-6
training years. Every resident from our program that has participated in this opportunity states at
graduation that it was one of the most valuable experiences during their time in training.
