Resident Fellowship

"The NEUROSURGERY Publications Resident Fellowship is an incredible opportunity for any neurosurgery resident with an interest in academic neurosurgery. As fellow I worked alongside the Editor-in-Chief and the publications staff to gain a firsthand understanding of the academic publishing process. This included co-authoring editorials and commentaries, performing peer reviews, and working as an editor. The fellowship also provides access to an unprecedented network of leaders in the field of neurosurgery through the editorial board and the opportunity to collaborate with them on new projects and initiatives."

"I am only 2 months into the fellowship and it has been a great experience. Everyone on the team is welcoming and helpful, and I have already been assigned to work on projects. This fellowship is an excellent opportunity to work with and learn from experts and talented individuals and influence the field of neurosurgery."

"My experience as the Neurosurgery publications fellow was amazing. It not only helped me get a better understanding of the editorial process, but also improve my own editorial skills, get involved in numerous projects and create platforms and resources helpful for the residents. It is a unique learning opportunity for neurosurgery residents and I would encourage others to avail it as well."

Saniya Godil, MD, MSCI (PGY-6, Vanderbilt)

"Serving as the fellow this past year was a great opportunity to learn the editorial side of creating such a publication like Neurosurgery. Not only did this experience allow me to be more comfortable with analyzing and editing manuscripts of all different types, it has also improved my own writing of manuscripts and forced me to think more critically about the design and methodology of clinical research. "
