Back to Program Structure

All residents are expected to participate in scholarly pursuits, including written and oral presentations for meetings, peer- reviewed journals, and textbooks. Any abstract or manuscript submitted to a meeting or journal must be sponsored by a full time faculty member and reviewed prior to submission.

If a paper or abstract is accepted for a meeting, the resident and sponsoring faculty member are expected to submit that work for publication. If an abstract or paper is accepted at an approved meeting, the Department of Neurological Surgery will consider, within budgetary limits, covering the expenses of the meeting. Coverage responsibilities, however, remain the responsibility of the resident. No resident may attend the meeting on this basis unless all other submitted works that have been accepted have already been submitted for publication.

The Chief Residents may attend one meeting of their choice with expenses paid.
