Dr. Ghusn is a Senior Consultant Neurosurgeon whose practice spans brain tumour surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery and complex spine surgery. He completed his neurosurgical residency at McGill University in Canada, followed by subspecialty fellowship training in spine surgery at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and in neurosurgical oncology and radiosurgery at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.

He began his training in Oman, completing a Bachelor of Science in Health Science and then his Doctor of Medicine at Sultan Qaboos University. After working as a Medical Officer with the Ministry of Health and as a Senior House Officer at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, he moved to Canada for neurosurgical residency at the McGill University Health Centre, where he served as Chief Resident and was awarded the FRCSC in Neurosurgery.
