Commonwealth Neurological Society Residents and Fellows Section Welcome to Commonwealth Neurological Society (CNS) Residents and Fellows (R&F) Section. We are happy that you chose Kentucky for Adult or Child Neurology training and serve the Kentuckians. Talented adult and child neurology residents and fellows are encouraged to participate actively in moving forward the goals and missions of CNS. Our aim is to enhance the quality of training and to better serve the community. The R&F section would serve as a platform for collaboration and would provide opportunity for networking with colleagues (trainees/faculty) from other programs. We encourage you to share an interesting case which you have managed. Biannually, we will select a case to publish on the CNS R&F website. This is a section which is written for neurology trainees by neurology trainees. We hope that this section would help to advance your medical knowledge and engage in scholarly activity. We hope to expand R&F section to actively involve the trainees in the annual meeting to present their research or quality improvement projects. |
