As we prepare for this year’s CNS Annual Meeting, we are excited to highlight the theme: Neurosurgery Origins. This year’s theme invites us to delve into the origins, history and future of our field, offering a valuable opportunity for introspection and growth. The program promises to be rich with educational content, spotlighting emerging treatment options for glioma patients and new considerations in extra-axial tumor surgery. We anticipate these sessions will provide critical insights and spark meaningful discussions.
In alignment with the Education Committee’s mission to support professional development throughout the career continuum, we are pleased to share updates on our ongoing initiatives:
- Webinar Series on Neurosurgical Oncology Fellowships:We have launched a webinar series showcasing CAST-approved neurosurgical oncology fellowships. To date, we have hosted two successful sessions, featuring six distinguished programs. Our upcoming webinars will continue to spotlight fellowship opportunities from various geographical regions, offering trainees a comprehensive view of the diverse and evolving landscape of fellowship training.
- Enhanced Oncology Case Resources with CNS Nexus:We are thrilled to announce our partnership with CNS Nexus, marking a significant step as the first section to collaborate officially with this platform. Over the next year, we will be working together to update and expand the oncology cases available in their portal. Our goal is to ensure that residents have access to the most current and relevant oncology information, enhancing their learning experience and supporting their professional development.
We are committed to advancing education and resources in neurosurgery and look forward to the continued impact of these initiatives. Thank you for your ongoing support and engagement.
