He then completed a neurosurgery residency at the University of Virginia and fellowship training at the University of Pittsburgh and University of Auckland. Sheehan joined the neurosurgical faculty at the University of Virginia where he maintains a clinical practice and active research laboratory.

Dr. Sheehan is currently (or has served) on the Editorial Boards of several journals (including the Journal of Neuro-Oncology, Neurosurgery, Journal of Neurosurgery, Journal of Stereotactic Radiosurgery & SBRT). He has served as Chair of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and Congress of Neurological Surgeons Section for Tumors (CNS) and Chair of the International Radiosurgery Research Foundation (IRRF). He serves as a special advisor regarding brain tumors for the Focused Ultrasound Foundation.

He serves as Editor-In-Chief of the Journal of Neuro-Oncology, the oldest continuously published journal in the field of neuro-oncology. This is the official journal of the AANS and CNS Tumor Section and supported by 8 other societies including the Society of British Neurological Surgeons, Society of NeuroOncology Latin America, Pakistan Society of Neuro-Oncology, European Association of Neurosurgical Societies, Korean Neurosurgical Society, Chinese Society of NeuroOncology, and Taiwan Society for Neuro-Oncology.

He has received numerous awards including the Leksell and Lunsford Radiosurgery, Synthes Skull Base, World Federation of Neurological Surgeons Young Neurosurgeon, AANS/CNS Translational Brain Tumor Research, Integra Science, Brainlab, Robert Florin, and UVA Clinical Excellence awards.
