Encourage your residents to expand their neurosurgical knowledge and enhance their leadership skills through these CNS opportunities:
NEUROSURGERY® Publications Resident Fellowship: Provides residents the opportunity to serve on the Editorial Boards of Neurosurgery and Operative Neurosurgery and immerses them in the strategies and mechanics of scholarly publishing.
CNS Resident Committee: The CNS Resident Committee offers neurosurgeons-in-training an extensive array of volunteer and leadership opportunities to improve all aspects of residency. Residents serving on the committee determine new project ideas, develop the project plans, and execute those projects while engaging in the CNS leadership structure.
Journal Submissions: Your residents are invited to submit their work to Neurosurgery and Operative Neurosurgery. Those interested are encouraged to read each journal’s instructions for authors which include information on editorial policy, the online submission process, and requirements per article type. Access our instructions for authors: Neurosurgery and Operative Neurosurgery.
