Charles Hodge Neurosurgeon: A Home In Syracuse

Charles Hodge, Neurosurgeon, received his medical training at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, at the Presbyterian Hospital in New York, where he did his surgical internship, and at the Yale-New Haven Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut, where he did a year of surgical residency. He did his Neurosurgical residency at the Health Science Center at the State University of New York in Syracuse, and was an Honorary Clinical Assistant at The London Hospital in White Chapel, London over a six month period in 1974 and 1975.

Charles Hodge, Neurosurgeon, says he "found a home" in Syracuse and returned there to join its staff following his time in England. The ensuing years saw a lot of academic advancement, culminating in his appointment as Professor and Chair of the neurosurgery department. He continued as Chair until 2007, years that saw much accomplishment. After resigning in 2007 he practiced with the neurosurgical group in Binghamton, New York for one year, from 2009-10. 

At that point Charles Hodge, Neurosurgeon was recruited to help with the neurosurgical training program at the University of Maryland in Baltimore and worked there training residents from 2010 until 2011. He and his wife Catherine had made Martha's Vineyard their home in 2009. They fulfilled a lifelong dream by sailing their 44 foot sloop from New England to the Chesapeake and then, with the Caribbean 1500, from the Chesapeake to Tortola where they spent the winter before sailing the 1200 miles back to New England.

Today, Charles Hodge, Neurosurgeon, is the Chief Medical Officer at vCases, an online medical training simulation system for medical students and professionals.
