As part of its mission to educate future leaders in spine neurosurgery, the Johns Hopkins Spine Center offers a two-year enfolded Spine Fellowship program to neurosurgery residents during their postgraduate years (PGY 5) and (PGY 6). The program includes one year of spine research and one year of clinical training, during which fellows learn proper diagnosis, treatment, and management of spinal disorders.

Under the mentorship of Spine Center neurosurgeons, fellows participate in a wide spectrum of complex surgeries, addressing spinal tumors, trauma, spinal deformities and degenerative conditions. Fellows have the opportunity to become proficient in a variety of surgical techniques, including minimally invasive and complex reconstruction.
