The Neurosurgical Innovations and Training Center (NITC) is a state-of-the-art research and education facility within the Department of Neurological Surgery at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. Staffed by highly experienced and dedicated faculty, it serves as the home of our Fellowship Program in Skull Base and Microneurosurgery. The center also supports resident education, medical student electives and programming, and hosts a range of ongoing research initiatives aimed at advancing surgical innovation in neurosurgery.
We are committed to the advancement of the art and science of neurological surgery through excellence in research, education, and the maintenance of scientific and clinical scholarship. To this end, we seek to preserve and advance skull base surgical expertise by providing skills-based educational opportunities and training that equip neurosurgeons worldwide with the skills to perform safe, effective, and appropriately aggressive skull base surgery and that contribute to improved surgical practice and clinical outcomes. We recognize our obligation not only to perform difficult surgery today, but also to cultivate a community of surgeons around the world who have the depth of training to safely attempt what others consider inoperable and to carry this craft forward for patients we will never meet.
