Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure and honor to invite you to the International Basic Neurosurgery Course, which will be held in Antalya, Turkey, March 14-17, 2012.

International Basic Neurosurgery Course is designed for residents in training and junior neurosurgeons. These consist of four annual courses of 4 days each, covering the key topics of Vascular Neurosurgery, Tumor, Neurotrauma/Functional, and Spine/Peripheral Nerves. Hence, the course cycle will take four years to complete. These courses offer modern education methods including interactive discussions, panels, video sessions, case discussions with board type questions. Specific course features include up to 10 hours of daily lectures, nearly 100 topics in each course.

Turkish Neurosurgical Society offers up to 2 scholarships to neurosurgery residents from each developing country. We would like to invite all young neurosurgery residents to apply for International Basic Neurosurgery Course Scholarship. All accommodation, registration and social event fees will be gladly covered by Turkish Neurosurgical Society.

I believe the participants will have a unique opportunity not only for scientific achievements, but also enhanced cooperation and friendship. The course venue also provides excellent atmosphere to socially enjoy your time and spend peaceful moments in Antalya, which is also known as the Turkish Riviera.

I look forward to seeing you among us in this unique event.

Sincerely,

Ihsan Solaroglu, MD.,
President of International Basic Neurosurgery Course
