Umar Farooq

I am a double board certified neurosurgeon with complex spine sub specialisation and significant cranial and spine trauma, tumour and intradural exposure from working in half of the large trauma centres all around the UK.
Currently working in the Belfast.
I hold FRCS (Surgical Neurology) from Royal college of Surgeons in Edinburgh UK and Fellow of European Board of Neurosurgery from European association of Neurosurgical societies. Royal college Canada eligibility has been applied.

I offer quality experience gained from very busy neurosurgery and spine trauma centres which I believe fits in well with what the job as advertised requires.

My wife is moving to Canada in a few weeks and I am looking forward to relocate to Canada to join my family.
British Columbia is a beautiful and picturesque province. 

I would love to drop by for a visit to your city and department. 
We will be moving to Canada in the next 2 months
