NEUROLOGICAL SURGERY JOINS THE NRMP!

The NRMP is pleased to welcome Neurological Surgery programs to the 2009 Main Residency Match. The Society for Neurological Surgeons, which is sponsoring the programs' participation in the NRMP, also has announced that as of July 1, 2009 the PGY-1 year of training in Neurological Surgery will become a categorical component of the Neurosurgical residency. Applicants who wish to obtain positions in Neurological Surgery no longer will be required to seek separate training for the PGY-1 year.
Concurrent with their move to the NRMP, Neurological Surgery programs will begin using the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).
