Description
The Council of State Neurosurgical Societies (CSNS) Medical Student Summer Fellowship in Socioeconomic Research supports a medical student undertaking supervised research on a socioeconomic issue affecting neurosurgical practice. The fellowship provides stipend support for an 8–10-week project on a topic of importance to neurosurgery.
The program emphasizes original, significant research that can be completed within the fellowship period. Selection considers the student's and mentor's qualifications and the institutional resources available to support the work. Fellows submit a final report to the Fellowship Committee for presentation at the fall CSNS Meeting, held just before the CNS Annual Meeting, connecting the summer research project with the society's discussion of neurosurgical socioeconomic issues.
