The Department of Neurosurgery at Mass General Brigham is seeking four highly motivated Co-op Students interested in gaining firsthand experience within an academic healthcare environment. Students will be assigned to one of four neurosurgical service lines: Brain Tumor, Spine, Cerebrovascular, or Functional/Pediatric Neurosurgery and will have the opportunity to work across both Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital as part of an integrated Mass General Brigham Neurosurgery program.

This position is designed for students interested in pursuing careers in medicine, healthcare administration, nursing, physician assistant studies, research, public health, business operations, or other healthcare-related fields. Co-op students will gain exposure to clinical operations, patient access, multidisciplinary care coordination, quality improvement initiatives, academic medicine, and healthcare leadership.

Working closely with physicians, advanced practice providers, clinical staff, operations leadership, and administrative teams, co-op students will support the day-to-day activities necessary for the efficient management of a high-volume academic neurosurgical practice. Responsibilities may include assisting with patient scheduling and care coordination, supporting research and academic initiatives, participating in data collection and analysis, observing clinical workflows, and contributing to operational improvement projects.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, self-directed, detail-oriented, and motivated to learn within a fast-paced healthcare environment. This individual should be comfortable communicating with patients, physicians, and multidisciplinary team members while contributing both independently and collaboratively.

This position is primarily in-person, with limited remote work opportunities based on departmental needs.
