DEPARTMENT OF NEUROSURGERY Residency Training Program
Message from the Department Chair
I
t is an honor and privilege to welcome you to the Rutgers Neurosurgical Program. We are delighted that you are considering us for training. I have been here for over two years now, and feel that the department has made meaningful strides in this time. The program has an excellent esprit de corps, and we hope to make it a destination neuroscience program. We do try to plan fun activities together, including journal clubs at my home, hockey games, hikes, and book/movie nights to make sure that the tone of the residency is one focused on a family centered spirit.
Over the course of the last two years, we’ve recruited nine new faculty members, including Dr. Detlev Boison, a well-funded scientist, who has done seminal work in the adenosine molecule, and is now serving as the Vice Chair of Research. We have recruited vascular, endovascular, tumor, and general neurosurgeons for both campuses. Our goal is to recruit additional research PhDs and expand our endovascular service line, as well as pediatrics and trauma. Led by Patrick Hilden, we’ve also started the Neurosurgery H.O.P.E Center (Health, Outcomes, Policy and Economics), and have hired a full-time epidemiologist and a junior statistician. The most important vote of confidence we got last year, was from the Residency Review Committee and the ACGME when they approved the absorption of the D.O. program from St. Barnabas, bringing us to nineteen total residents. Through two programs that span three vibrant hospitals in the state of New Jersey, including University Hospital in Newark, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick and St. Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, there is a great alchemy serving different populations, focusing on safety, quality, and superb outcomes. The highlight of this year was our Global Neurosurgery: Ask Not for Whom the Bell Tolls symposium, which took place over the course of three days on September 10th, 11th and 12th 2020. Over 1,000 registrants signed up for the meeting, which featured 160 speakers from 34 countries. Our meeting was broadcast in live translation to several hundred people in China, and had a combined total of 11,300 Facebook live views for the event, reaching almost 41,000 people across 44 countries around the globe. Our first Peter W. Carmel oration was held, and we had Professor Sir Michael Marmot give a talk on “Social justice, health equity and Covid-19.” The meeting was entirely virtual, as this seems to be the way we’ll be going for now, in the postCovid era. I hope you strongly consider us for this residency position.
Sincerely,
Anil Nanda, MD, MPH Peter W.

Message from the Program Director
C
hoosing your program is one of the most important and critical decisions in your professional career. Your residency is not merely where you have trained for seven years but is the springboard for your future in neurosurgery.
Founded in 1994, the residency training program in neurological surgery at Rutgers University has grown in size and breadth through the years, most recently expanding to 19 residents and incorporating the training program at Saint Barnabas Medical Center. Our residency training program provides each resident with the tools to excel in patient care, research, and education. Most importantly, Rutgers neurosurgery prepares you to be a leader within organized neurosurgery and within the community. As the only residency training program in the State of New Jersey, clinical neurosurgical training is carried out at four sites: University Hospital - Newark, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital - New Brunswick, Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, and Saint
Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey. Each of these sites offers exposure to a wide variety of cranial and spinal pathology with both elective and emergency cases. Each hospital has its own focus and feel, which along with the residents’ weekly subspecialty outpatient clinics, offers our trainees experience in a wide variety of practice environments. Each of our training sites have dedicated neurosurgical operating rooms and state of the art imaging. Each hospital offers neuronavigation and all four sites already have or are soon to acquire intraoperative O-Arm imaging. University Hospital, Robert Wood Johnson, and St. Barnabas all run busy neuroendovascular programs. Our NICUs are managed by dedicated intensivists. University Hospital is the site of the state’s busiest trauma center, one of the premier trauma programs in the country, featured on 60 Minutes, The Learning Channel, and other national broadcasts. Robert Wood Johnson is home to the Cancer Institute of New Jersey, an NCI-designated cancer center. Both Robert Wood Johnson and St. Barnabas run stereotactic radiosurgery programs with Gamma Knife and Cyberknife programs, respectively, as well as a Proton Beam center at Robert Wood Johnson, and Linac-based platforms at University Hospital and Newark Beth Israel. The clinical experience is supplemented by a broad weekly didactic program. Each Wednesday over the summer is devoted to cadaver dissection and hands-on practical labs. Throughout the year, each Wednesday is protected academic time, devoted to lectures and conferences throughout the morning and outpatient clinics in the afternoon. This is the time for meetings with faculty mentors, manuscript review, and development of research methods. Wednesdays are also the day for our Visiting Professor Lectureships with many of the “giants” of Neurosurgery. In addition to lectures, the residents sit with our guest lectures for an informal lunch discussion and, along with our faculty, join our guest for dinner as well. As we embark on our third decade in resident education, we are confident that we will continue to produce graduates who become leaders of their hospitals, academic medical centers, and organized neurosurgery. Despite the limitations posed this year by COVID, I am confident that as you ‘virtually’ meet with our residents and faculty, tour our facilities, and explore thenumerous opportunities available, you will find that our program will offer a rich environment for your growth within neurosurgery as well.
On behalf of the Department, thank you for your interest in our program. Yours truly,
Ira M. Goldstein, M.D., FAANS Program Director, Associate Professor Department of Neurological Surgery

Resident Wellness Residency is a difficult process, and these years may be some of the most trying years in one’s medical career. Residents are faced with a steep learning curve, difficult decisions, and long hours. Finding the balance between education and patient care responsibilities, along with building one’s personal and family life, can be a great challenge. A recent ACGME survey found that a majority of residents classified themselves as “healthy,” but when broken down by individual lifestyle factors (including sleep, energy levels, and depression), residents scored lower than their nonresident peers. This discrepancy underscores the significance of promoting wellness during residency. At Rutgers, we aim to foster a culture of wellness among all of our residents.
Research Faculty Detlev Boison, PhD Professor and Vice Chair of Research, Department of Neurosurgery Dr. Boison has a passion for translational research and for finding cures for intractable conditions that cause human suffrage and death. He also seeks to translate fundamental mechanisms of biochemistry and energy metabolism into novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of neurological conditions. His major research effort is the development of metabolism-based therapies that enable disease modification in epilepsy after traumatic brain injury. Over the past 25 years he has maintained a rigorous program on translational adenosine research and has been continuously NIH funded since 2008.
Hai Sun, MD, PhD Associate Professor and Assistant Director of Research, Department of Neurosurgery Dr. Sun has received an Epilepsy Research Program Idea Development Award from the Department of Defense office of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs. The new $721,641 grant will likely reach $1M due to increase in indirect cost. This three-year grant will fund his research project, “Evaluating Impact of Cerebral Contusions on Brain Network Dysfunction and Epileptogenesis Among Patients with Traumatic Brain Injuries.” The project focuses on how the brain develops post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) as a result of an interruption in the normal recovery after a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Stella Elkabes, PhD, MS Professor of Research, Department of Neurosurgery & Co-Director of Reynolds Family Spine Laboratory Dr. Elkabes’ research focuses on neuroprotection, neural regeneration, neuro-immune interactions and the cross-talk between neurons and glia in animal models of spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis. Her current research entitled “The astroglial response to Spinal Cord Injury modulation by a Toll-like receptor 9 antagonist” is funded by the National Institute of Health and New Jersey Commission on Spinal Cord Research.

Project 100 When the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the clinics closed down to permit only essential care to be done, we needed a new challenge to maintain academic standards for the education for our residents. Out of this need, Project 100 was born, a collection of scholarly activities to be done remotely by engaging residents, medical students and faculty in publication projects. Project 100 turned into a successful endeavor, resulting in 245 projects and the immersion of residents in research projects, which could be done remotely and safely.
