Corewell Health-William Beaumont University Dearborn-Royal Oak Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a small, single-resident-per-year (7 total) neurosurgery residency based primarily at Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital, an ACS Level I trauma center, with roughly a quarter of training at Corewell Health Dearborn serving the ethnically and socioeconomically diverse metropolitan Detroit population. The curriculum spans the full breadth of subspecialty neurosurgery (advanced spine, functional/pain, endovascular, neurotology, pediatric neurosurgery I and II, skull base with stereotactic radiosurgery), reflecting a comprehensive general-neurosurgeon training model rather than a narrow niche focus. The program's stated mission explicitly frames both community practice and fellowship-track academic careers as valid, intended outcomes, and recent graduate placements (private practice in Michigan and Florida, a spine fellowship) confirm this dual pathway rather than a research-heavy or academic-only pipeline. Faculty draw from neurosurgery, neurology, otolaryngology, and radiation oncology, indicating a multidisciplinary but clinically oriented (not research-centric) training environment.
