Brief Profile –

Dr. Amol Raheja has been an AIIMS alumnus throughout his academic carrer. He joined the most prestigious and competitive medical school in India (AIIMS, New Delhi)in 2003. He was awarded a prestigious scholarshipunder the Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana scheme in 2004 for best original research in medicine stream, which was conducted nationwide by Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore under the aegis of Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. After completing his medical schoolingin 2008; he joined M.Ch. Neurosurgery residency (6 years) in 2009. He had an excellent academic and surgical record throughout his residency training, with several publications in both national and international journals. He has also presented his work at various scientific meetings in India and abroad, which has resulted in best paper awards. He has won“Hindustan Ciba Geigy Epilepsy Award”for his work in the field of epilepsy surgery in 2014. At the largest international neurosurgical platform, he was awarded the prestigious “World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies – Young Neurosurgeon Award” in the year 2015for his original research in the field of traumatic brain injury. For his impeccable surgical skills, he has also won the first prize for “microsuturing and microneural anastamosis” atthe 15^th Neurosurgery skills training workshop held at AIIMS. After completing his neurosurgical residency in 2015, he joined a 1 year clincial fellowship“Skull Base and Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery” at the University of Utah Medical Center, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA; under the mentorship of one of the world’s renowned skull base neurosurgeon – Professor William T. Couldwell. Subsequently he has joined as a faculty at AIIMS in the year 2016. He is well versed in all aspects of neurosurgery with special interest in Skull Base and Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery, and is currently working on many national and international research projects.
