Semmes-Murphey Clinic is a free standing multi-disciplinary group of over 20 neurosurgeons, 5 of whom are fellowship trained pediatric neurosurgeons. We perform approximately 800 pediatric neurosurgical cases per year with the largest pediatric brain tumor program, and one of the largest pediatric epilepsy and pediatric spine programs in the country. We have trained 25 pediatric neurosurgery fellows and work out of three local pediatric hospitals, LeBonheur Children's Hospital, which is a regional Level I pediatric trauma center, St Jude Children's Research Hospital, which was the number one US News and World Report children's cancer hospital in the USA this year. Our pediatric neuro-oncology program is their largest cancer program, treating up to 200 pediatric brain tumor patients per year. We also work at Baptist Children's Hospital, a local children's hospital.
