Applicants are encouraged to develop their own clinical or research programs aligned with their interests, with opportunities for collaboration across departments such as neurosurgery, neuroradiology, and neuro-ophthalmology. Currently, patient care is provided in historic center city Philadelphia and via telemedicine, with plans to develop satellite clinics outside the city for interested faculty.
