St. Louis, Missouri
3-D Demonstration of Neurosurgical Brain Anatomy
Hands-On Training of Neurosurgical Procedures
Registration is FREE for Students
Hotel Accommodations Will be Provided at No Cost
It is our pleasure to invite medical students from your school to join us for a special course
introducing the field of Neurosurgery.
The course will include both didactic and hands-on segments. The didactic segment will include
a thorough review of the surgical aspects of neuro-anatomy via live 3-D demonstrations and
lectures, while the hands-on portion will provide students with the opportunity to practice
neurosurgical procedures on specially prepared cadaveric specimens.
Not only are we looking to host medical students who know that they want to go into
neurosurgery, we would like to see students who are merely interested in the field to attend as
well. Students who are accepted will be able to attend this course at no cost. We will also
provide hotel accommodations at no cost. Since there are a limited number of positions, our
organizing committee will make the final selections to represent each region of the country.
