Join one of America’s most successful and challenging Development and Alumni Relations teams.

The Johns Hopkins Hospital has been named the #1 hospital in America for the 18th straight year by US News and World Report and was ranked in the top 10 in 15 of the 16 Honor Roll specialties. The Department of Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins is steeped in a long tradition of excellence. Beginning with Harvey Cushing, M.D., the first physician to surgically-and successfully-remove a human brain tumor, the Department has a legacy of revolutionizing the field of neurosurgery. Following Dr. Cushing, the Department was home to some of the finest neurosurgeons of the 20th century. Walter Dandy, M.D. conducted the most important laboratory studies on hydrocephalus and pneumoencephalopathy. A. Earl Walker, M.D. revolutionized epilepsy surgery. Donald Long, M.D. introduced steroids to neurosurgery. Today, under the direction of Henry Brem, Harvey Cushing Professor and Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery, the Department continues to make significant contributions to the field. Along with Dr. Brem, the Department’s world-class neurosurgeons, including Doctors Benjamin Carson, Gregory Riggins, Frederick Lenz, Rafael Tamargo, Daniele Rigamonti, and Ziya Gokaslan, are considered some of the world’s foremost authorities. Guided by its strong legacy-and emboldened by its current achievements-the Department is well positioned to continue making advancements in the field of neurosurgery.
