Annual symposium

Since its inception, the NNS symposiums have brought together scientists, clinicians, and health-care providers who are dedicated to the study of neurotrauma and to translating knowledge generated by research into improved patient care. Join your colleagues and initiate new collaborations at the premier forum for information related to traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury.

The annual Neurotrauma Symposiums are co-hosted by the National Neurotrauma Society and the American Association Neurological Surgeons and Joint Section on Neurotrauma and Critical Care (AANS/CNS). This combination of expertise allows for presentations that integrate state-of-the-art clinical, translational, and basic science data. Share with others what function means to you and hear about cutting edge approaches to assessing and improving function after neurotrauma.

The Scientific Program Committees are charged with putting together programs comprised of plenary and break-out sessions in which the leading experts will share their up-to-date research and findings in neurotrauma.

A central focus of the Symposium are the highly interactive poster sessions which stimulate scholarly discussions on the mechanisms, assessments and treatments for improving function after neurotrauma.

Innovative workshops will cover pertinent topics such as writing effective publications and grants, state-of-the-art patient care, conducting rigorous research, improving scientific communication, and use of cutting-edge technologies to accelerate discovery at both the bench and the bedside.  CME credits are provided for the meeting. 

Neurotrauma Symposium promises to provide innovative opportunities for learning, mentoring, and collaboration for all attendees.
