The AANS Medical Student Chapters and Departments of Neurological Surgery at Weill Cornell Medicine and Keck Medicine of USC invite you to participate in a one-day event for medical students considering specialization in neurological surgery. This is a unique opportunity for students to learn from faculty and current residents.
After the huge success of the 2018 Medical Student Training Camp, we are excited to announce TWO locations for the 2019 event. This year, the course will be held on March 30th, 2019 at Weill Cornell Medicine and Keck School of Medicine of USC. Please note that the training camp will take place from approximately 8am-3pm local time.
This hands-on experience is intended to prepare medical students for neurosurgical sub-internship, residency application, and neurosurgical training. Through both didactics and laboratory training sessions, students participating in this course will prepare for neurosurgical sub-internship. This course is intended for medical students at any stage of their training. There is no fee to RSVP for this event, however a payment will be required to confirm your final registration. Space is limited, though the chapters are working to accommodate as many students as possible and ensure spots for all students starting sub-internships in 2019.
