We are indebted to the librarians and staff of the Levy Library and Arthur H. Aufses, Jr. MD Archives at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai-in particular Ms. Barbara Niss, Mr. Terrell Artis, and Mr. Edmund Jessup-for their support and historical recordkeeping. We also extend our gratitude to Hang Byun, MD, and Frank Moore, MD, for their primary historical accounts.
Funding Information:
Dr. Post transitioned from chairman in 2008 but remains as professor and co-director of the Pituitary Center. Dr. Post oversaw the training of 70 neurosurgical residents while chairman and chairman emeritus. He served as the program director in 2014 prior to Dr. J Mocco’s tenure. He heralded an increased academic focus with a greater emphasis on resident research, and instituted a publication requirement for residents. He bolstered research productivity, and initially funded research laboratories from clinical practice until grants and industry funding became the primary source of revenue.

N2 - The Department of Neurosurgery's residency program at The Mount Sinai Hospital was founded in 1946. The department has its origins in 1914 as a division of general surgery, with Charles Elsberg at the helm. Neurosurgery then became a separate department in 1932 under the leadership of Ira Cohen. Dr. Cohen oversaw the creation of the neurosurgery residency training program 75 years ago. Since its inception, the residency program has graduated 120 residents. For more than 100 years, The Mount Sinai Hospital has been a site of clinical excellence, groundbreaking research, and technological innovation in neurosurgery. Currently, the Department of Neurosurgery has 39 clinical faculty members, performs more than 5300 surgeries and endovascular procedures annually, and is in the top 25 neurosurgical departments for NIH funding.
