American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS)

The Mission of American Association of Neurological Surgery (AANS) Medical Student Chapter at the David Geffen School of Medicine (DGSOM) is to provide early support and leadership training to medical students exploring a career in neurosurgery. This AANS Medical Student Chapter will provide a forum for students to organize professional, educational, and research activities within DGSOM, promote mentorship, and facilitate participation at a national level for the next generation of neurosurgical leaders. The Vision for this AANS Medical Student Chapter is as follows: To partner with AANS and the neurosurgery department at UCLA in the mentorship and professional development of medical students interested in neurosurgery. To that end, this AANS medical student chapter will support activities that increase interest in neurosurgery as a career, promote neurosurgical education and foster early leadership. Through the resources of AANS and UCLA, we will provide opportunities for medical student leadership, meeting participation, education, and research in the field of neurosurgery.
