Dear all medical students applying to the 2020 Neurosurgery Match,

One of the best aspects of the interview trail is meeting your fellow interviewees and future colleagues. Join us for an opportunity to meet your fellow medical student applicants prior to interview season—hopefully this will be the first of many!

Time: 8AM-10AM PST / 11AM-1PM EST
