Description
The SickKids Division of Neurosurgery is the oldest and largest in Canada, with a strong focus on research and teaching. We treat the full range of neurosurgical disorders in children, including complex brain and spinal tumours, epilepsy, craniosynostosis, vascular disease, and trauma. We aim to provide all of our patients, from across Ontario, Canada, and the world, with the highest level of care available. We conduct a very active fellowship program that provides sub-specialty pediatric training to neurosurgeons from around the world, allowing these individuals to take back to their home countries a high level of skill in the care of pediatric neurosurgical disorders.
