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. In 2019, students at Cornell partnered with students from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California to host a training camp in Los Angeles.
