Cinci will be a good program in a couple years once all the pieces come together. OSU is an already established program that still has room to grow.

OSU has an incredible operative experience for residents. Great representation of specialties. There are three peds neurosurgeons, three deformity spine surgeons, three dual trained vascular and endovascular neurosurgeons, two functional, prevedello in skull base with one of his previous fellows likely joining him next year, elder does a ton of cases every week for primary and secondary brain tumors as well as spine tumors, Lonser does both cranial and intramedullary spine tumors, in addition to other faculty who do tumor. Mendel does spine tumor specifically. The residents get excellent autonomy in cases and chiefs have their pick of cases over fellows regardless of specialty. The past two years OSU chiefs have had the most logged cases in their graduating class. If you want to learn how to operate then I really don't believe that there would be a better experience in Ohio. With regards to research, there is research currently being conducted in every field with plenty of clinical and lab experiences available to residents as well as early involvement if they are interested.

whether he or she is an OSU resident or not, they are right. I rotated there and loved it.
