Young Neurosurgeons Committee Public Service Citation

A Public Service Citation is presented annually by the AANS Young Neurosurgeons Committee (YNC) to an individual actively engaged in neurosurgery training or in early years of practice. The Citation is for extraordinary or unusual public service by a young neurosurgeon outside of any service specific to organized neurosurgery. Suitable nominees serve the public through various means, including but not limited to public charities, medical or socioeconomic mission work and governmental/legislative efforts.

The Citation will be presented at the YNC Luncheon at the 2020 AANS Annual Scientific Meeting in Boston. Nominations of suitable candidates should include the following:

  1. Nominee name, address and email;
  2. Year of completion, or anticipated completion, of neurosurgery training;
  3. Submission of a nomination letter (250-500 words) detailing the nominee's recent and relevant history of public service (descriptive articles or other relevant material can also be submitted); and
  4. Name, address and email of person submitting the nomination.

Deadline for submission is February 16, 2020, and nominations are to be sent to memberservices@aans.org.
