As part of the UAB Department of Neurosurgery Residency Training Program, residents interested in pediatric neurosurgery receive extensive exposure to the subspecialty. UAB Neurosurgery residents rotate through pediatrics during their third and sixth years. The pediatric neurosurgery faculty are committed to residency training and regularly mentor residents on research projects. Several UAB Neurosurgery residency graduates have gone on to successfully pursue careers in pediatric neurosurgery.
The fellowship program offered at UAB/Children’s of Alabama is one year in duration and is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pediatric Neurosurgery Fellowships. As such, graduating fellows are fully qualified to sit for the American Board of Pediatric Neurosurgery Exam that enables them to attain ABPNS Board Certification in Pediatric Neurosurgery.
Our fellows are among the best trained and most distinguished graduating residents in neurosurgery training programs in North America. We are proud that all of the UAB/COA fellows have successfully completed ABPNS certification, and the vast majority have continued to pursue either exclusively or predominantly pediatric neurosurgery. Many have gone on to leading positions in pediatric neurosurgery at distinguished pediatric medical centers around the country.
During the course of the fellowship, the pediatric neurosurgery fellow is fundamentally involved in the day-to-day operations of the busy clinical service. General clinical exposure is attained in the operating room, the clinics, inpatient wards and conferences. Each fellow receives extensive operative experience in the full range of pediatric neurosurgery cases, as well as experience with the important decision making that goes on perioperatively. The fellow presents several talks at the Pediatric Section of the AANS/CNS meeting in December and produces at least 6-8 manuscripts (range 4-24 papers) for the peer-reviewed literature in pediatric neurosurgery.
Residents interested in pursuing fellowship training at UAB/COA should contact Amy Finch, divisional administrator, with an e-mail or letter indicating your interest during the summer preceding their last year of residency. After application is received along with 3 letters of reference, and the ABNS exam scores and interview will be scheduled. Interviews are coordinated and conducted in early autumn. The fellowship position is filled via the annual San Francisco match in pediatric neurosurgery that occurs in late November or early December.

Clinical care of pediatric patients is the primary focus of Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery. Secondary to that is improving patient care through extensive and high-quality research efforts. Our division has more than 35 active research projects in such areas as hydrocephalus, spina bifida, epilepsy, chiari, head trauma, brain tumors, craniosynostosis, and cerebral palsy.
Hydrocephalus
We are one of the founding sites of the Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network (HCRN) and are the largest contributor since 2008. Currently, there are eight active protocols ranging from participation in the registry to a randomized clinical trial. Funding includes contributions from the Hydrocephalus Association and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute. Research in the division has also led to the development and validation of a complement biomarker for shunt infection and meningitis.
Chiari I Malformation
For the past 7 years, we have substantially contributed to the Park Reeves Syringomyelia Research Consortium (PRSRC), which is focused on improving surgical care of children with Chiari I malformation and Syringomyelia. Due to the diligent work of the consortium, a clustered randomized trial has been initiated and is currently enrolling surgical patients. Funding ranges from private donations to the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute.
Brain Tumors
In collaboration with the UAB Department of Pediatrics, we are currently conducting the first ever NIH-funded clinical trial of intratumoral injection of oncolytic virus for the treatment of recurrent malignant brain tumors in children. We have treated children from all over the United States and Canada, with plans to expand the trial to multiple centers in 2018.
Head Trauma
Our division has spearheaded concussion research in collaboration with the departments of Sports Medicine, Rehabilitation and Psychology. We have established a concussion patient registry and institution-wide concussion care protocol based on international best practice standards. In cooperation with Children’s of Alabama, we host annual educational concussion summits for medical staff and the public. Video analysis of helmet-to-helmet impacts in football players has led to a successful NIH R25 grant studying the biomechanics and MRI correlates of sports concussion. In addition, collaboration with the UAB School of Engineering has resulted in a novel football helmet design that was recently licensed by the innovative football helmet company VICIS (Seattle).
Spina Bifida
We are a leading site in the CDC funded Spina Bifida Patient Registry since 2008. New projects were initiated with registry as a starting point. New research protocols include transitioning from pediatric to adult care and fertility of adult spina bifida patients. Acceptance of 26 abstracts by World Congress of Spina Bifida in 2017 demonstrates our dedication and diligence to research efforts.
Cerebral Palsy
We are one of the original sites of the Cerebral Palsy Research Network (CPRN). Currently, CPRN is focused on establishing a patient registry and infection protocol.
Other areas
We have recently begun a multidisciplinary effort to study post-traumatic stress symptoms in children with chronic conditions and the importance of psychosocial services for patients with new neurosurgical diagnosis. Other ongoing clinical studies include outcomes in endoscopic craniosynostosis surgery, craniopharyngioma biology and genetics of congenital neurosurgical disease.
The Children’s of Alabama Global Surgery Program seeks to expand and enhance Children’s pediatric surgical and medical expertise through collaborative, reciprocal arrangements with medical communities in targeted parts of the world. Through this global initiative, surgeons travel to partner pediatric hospitals worldwide to perform surgery, educate, and provide expertise in the creation of standardized management protocols for complex surgical diseases. Additionally, surgeons and research coordinators from those partner institutions travel to Birmingham for training fellowships to advance their knowledge and skills, and to participate in research endeavors.
The program is newly formalized, building on the experience of surgeons from the divisions of general surgery, orthopedic surgery, plastic surgery, neurosurgery and cardiovascular surgery who have been making these overseas trips for years. Their work established the foundation of the program, but the need to coordinate the outreach within a structured initiative became increasingly apparent, both logistically and financially.
Craniofacial surgeons John Grant, M.D., and James Johnston, M.D., recently returned from a trip to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi, Ghana where they worked with previous Global Surgery Fellows Solomon Yeboah, M.D., and Frank Boakye, M.D., to establish the first craniofacial program in Sub-Saharan Africa. Johnston and pediatric neurosurgeon Jerry Oakes, M.D., travel regularly to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to work with previous Global Surgery Fellow Can Dang Do Thanh, M.D., to perform and teach complex brain tumor, craniofacial and neuroendoscopic surgery. Brandon Rocque, M.D., is working with current Global Surgery Fellow Lien Nguyen Duc, M.D., to establish a pediatric surgical epilepsy program at the National Viet Duc Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam.
The partner hospitals typically serve a very large regional population – 40 million in Ho Chi Minh City, for example -- and have a strong infrastructure and good facilities, but their staffs have not enjoyed the benefits of advanced training available in the United States. During the one-to-two-week trips, the Children’s surgeon will see patients in clinic alongside local physicians to determine which cases need immediate attention, which ones can wait and which will present a valuable educational experience for the local surgeon.
The reciprocal agreement with these foreign hospitals provides training opportunities to their physicians. Surgeons and residents are brought to Birmingham to observe procedures, discuss cases, and attend meetings and continuing education conferences. The usual stay is three months, during which time they are housed in apartments near the Children’s campus at the hospital’s expense.
Modern Technology Provides a Virtual Presence via VIPAR
A crucial component of the Children’s of Alabama global pediatric surgery outreach initiative is the use of technology by neurosurgeon James Johnston, M.D., that allows him to create a real-time presence in operating rooms on the other side of the world. Virtual Interactive Presence and Augmented Reality, or VIPAR, is an Internet-based telemedicine system that employs iPad and standard internet to stream video between Birmingham and remote sites. It was originally developed by Bart Guthrie, Professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and has since been commercialized for use in multiple applications by the Department of Defense, Walmart, Medtronic and other large corporations.
How does VIPAR work? Surgeons at Children’s Hospital #2 in Ho Chi Minh City use an iPad to stream real-time images of an endoscopic third ventriculostomy with choroid plexus cauterization. Johnston follows the procedure from his tablet and can advise as needed. “I can interact with surgeons in Vietnam during the actual surgery,” he said. “It’s like I’m in the OR with them. We only use it for neurosurgery now, but we hope to adapt it to be valuable for other surgeries as well, specifically laparoscopy and microsurgery.” Details of the initiative, the first of its kind in the world, were recently published in World Neurosurgery.
Involvement by other surgery teams
General pediatric surgeons Mike Chen, M.D., and his wife, Elizabeth Beierle, M.D., have made 10 trips to Vietnam since 2008, visiting children’s hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Da Nang. On a recent trip, they were joined by other general pediatric surgeons, pediatric urologists, anesthesiologists and support personnel. Vietnamese medical students served as interpreters. The group participated in a weekly tumor board conference and discussed care on 17 children, consulted in the pediatric surgery conference and reviewed care on over 30 children. They also operated on 16 children with complicated congenital anomalies, tumors and complex urological issues.
Children’s surgeons currently work with partner hospitals in Kenya, Ghana, Vietnam and Mexico. Orthopedic surgeon Shawn Gilbert, M.D., performs surgery and trains Kenyan surgeons in complex procedures for spine and leg deformities at Kijabe CURE Hospital in Kenya. Robert J. Dabal, M.D. travels with a multidisciplinary team from Children’s to perform and teach advanced cardiovascular surgery at the Hospital de Especialidades Pediatricas in Chiapas, Mexico.
