Clinical neurosurgery has been practiced in the US capital for just over 100 years. As former residents and fellows of Drs. Harvey Cushing and Walter Dandy moved to the region, hospitals at Georgetown and George Washington Universities became early adopters of this new surgical discipline. Later academic neurosurgery programs were established at the National Institutes of Health, Walter Reed Medical Center, and Children's National Medical Center. Neurosurgical pioneers at these institutions developed new technologies and diagnostic procedures which continue to inform our current practice. In addition, continued collaboration between the multiple training sites in Washington, DC has uniquely enriched our residents' training experience.
临床神经外科学在美国首都已经实践了 100 多年。随着哈维·库欣博士和沃尔特·丹迪博士的前住院医生和研究员搬到该地区，乔治敦大学和乔治·华盛顿大学的医院成为这一新外科学科的早期采用者。后来，国立卫生研究院、沃尔特·里德医疗中心和儿童国家医疗中心也建立了神经外科学术项目。这些机构的神经外科学先驱开发了新技术和诊断程序，这些程序继续为我们当前的实践提供信息。此外，华盛顿特区的多个培训基地之间的持续合作，为我们的住院医生培训经历增添了独特的价值。
