ISPN online education courses

This year, the ISPN Education Committee and the ISPN Ad-hoc Neuro-oncology and Neurotrauma Committees will be launching two new online ISPN Education courses:

ISPN High Impact Neurooncology Course and an ISPN Neurotrauma Course later this year.

Both courses will consist of 4 online sessions and are aimed at neurosurgeons, medical students, residents and trainees with an interest in pediatric neurosurgery. 

As these are official ISPN educational courses, note that registration will be for all sessions and needs to be done prior to the start of the course. Once the course has started, you will no longer be able to sign up.

Participants will be entitled to receive a certificate of attendance upon completion of the course, however a 75% attendance rate will be required to obtain the certificate.

Note: AI assistants / recording will not be allowed during the sessions.

We welcome you to this new ISPN online educational course of four sessions dedicated to neurooncology.

We are grateful to all the speakers from the international community who have agreed to contribute and we are certain that each two-hour session will provide an excellent forum for education and discussion.

We look forward to seeing you all there!
