“As an aspiring spine surgeon, this observership definitely enhanced my knowledge and skills. Not only was it beneficial for my career, this observership also brings goodness to my country and its people at large. I am a proud awardee and very thankful for CNS Foundation for this opportunity.”
“With the knowledge, training, and connections I gained, I hope to advance neurosurgery in my country, improve access to surgical care, enhance surgical outcomes, and boost the research capacity and output for neurosurgery in Zambia.”
“I believe that this initiative has immense value for young neurosurgeons from low-middle income countries where it is very hard to find funding for education and research purposes abroad. Personally, it was a privilege for me, and I am certain this experience will have a significant impact in my future practice as a neurosurgeon.”
“The CNS Leadership Institute that I was able to attend as a result of the Future Women Leaders in Neurosurgery Scholarship from the CNS Foundation helped cultivate and hone skills and strategies to be successful and productive.”
“Thanks to your support, the students were able to rotate in the OR/clinic/cadaver lab, dissect a sheep brain, remove a clot on thrombectomy model and coil an aneurysm, and had multiple workshops and lectures focused on academic preparation, college applications, financial aid, and immediate next steps.”
