The clinical service at MUSC-MC is divided into two teams. Team A
(Neuro-oncology, Stereotactic/Functional/Pain) and Teama B (Pediatric,
Cerebrovascular, Spine). Both teams handle general neurosurgical and general
spine cases. Each team has a PA assigned
to it, and an intern every alternate month. The Administrative Chief (NS-6) and Senior
(NS-5) residents lead each of these teams, and are responsible for team rounds, operative
cases for each team and resident assignments to the operating rooms. Conferences are
organizedand are the responsibility of the Chief Resident.
