Department of Functional Neurosurgery
Beijing Institute of Functional Neurosurgery (BIFN) was co-founded in the year of 1998 by Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University and Loma Linda University (USA). Based on that, Department of Functional Neurosurgery was established in 2000, which was China’s first clinical and research organization in the field of Functional Neurosurgery. Its director, Professor Yongjie Li, returned from US and applied his tremendous clinical and research experience in the practice and operation at BIFN. After 20 years of development, BIFN has become one of the world’s biggest and most comprehensive organizations in its kind, where a broad range of neurological disorders are treated by well-trained surgeons and physicians with state-of-the-art equipment. In addition, BIFN has served as China’s important base for training of functional neurosurgeons and physicians in the related fields. Numerous physicians, post-doctoral students, graduate students, clinical fellows and residents coming from all over China have received rigorous and fruitful training here at the institute.
