Residents & Fellows: Further Your Neurosurgical Knowledge with NREF

In cooperation with the AANS, the NREF offers free Resident Education Courses to provide advanced training in topic areas not always covered within neurosurgical residency.

Over 2,000 residents and fellows have attended an NREF course, with thousands more viewing presentations online. Spaces are limited at the live courses, so several are available online, free of charge, to neurosurgical residents around the world.
