It’s the season of giving, and we want to give the gift of up-to-date research results in neurosurgery. You will have a rare opportunity to access the annual conference of the AANS/CNS Joint Section on Pediatric Neurosurgery will run from Friday, Dec 2 through Sun, Dec 4 in Washington, DC.

BJCSF understands the importance of patients and their loved ones having the most up-to-date information about these disorders… To make sure all patients and caregivers have access to this education, we are offering virtual access to various sessions relevant to Chiari, syringomyelia and related disorders!
Please Note: While patients and caregivers should not ask questions during the sessions, BJCSF will be hosting a post-meeting Q&A session to discuss everything that went on during the conference! Information on this session will be emailed over the next few days.
The time to register is limited. Please sign up by Thursday evening at 11:59PM Eastern Time to ensure you receive an access link.
