About the program
The Medical Student Neurosurgery Training Camp was started in 2018 by medical students at Weill Cornell Medical College with the purpose of providing a hands-on course designed by medical students for medical students aspiring to become neurological surgeons. When In-person courses were canceled in 2020 due to the ongoing pandemic, Students launched the first-ever Virtual Neurosurgery Training Camp.
