Barrow Neurological Institute at Phoenix Children’s Hospital
Pediatric Neuroscience
When it comes to caring for children with neurological and behavioral disorders, the old saying is often true: "It takes a village."
Or, more precisely, it takes multiple medical professionals to care for patients that suffer from complex and interrelated neurological and behavioral conditions. Collaborating to treat these special pediatric patients enhances their care and improves their outcome.
At Phoenix Children's Hospital, funding enabled the divisions of neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, and psychology to come together in one such collaboration: the Barrow Neurological Institute at Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
Specialized medical equipment, pediatric patient rooms, and pediatric specialists -- in addition to the hospital's family-centered focus – make the Center uniquely qualified to treat pediatric patients.
The hospital's Barrow Neurological Institute is under the leadership of Director and Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery, P. David Adelson, MD, FACS, FAAP.
The program is looking toward the future by placing a large emphasis on teaching and research activities. All of the divisions within the Center participate in training Phoenix Children's Hospital's pediatric residents. In addition, the Center hosts residents from the University of Arizona's adult Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry departments. The Center conducts weekly educational seminars for staff and residents.
Beyond training the doctors of tomorrow, the Center also seeks cures for tomorrow with its clinical research program.
The teaching and research activities round out what has become a comprehensive, integrated, and groundbreaking neuroscience program at Phoenix Children's Hospital. The Pediatric Neurosurgery fellowship at Barrow Neurological Institute at Phoenix Children’s Hospital is designed to train neurosurgeons planning to pursue a clinical career in pediatric neurosurgery.
