Our members include renowned experts and emerging leaders shaping the future of neurosurgery. With a commitment to inclusivity, innovation, and excellence, we actively engage in education, training, and outreach. From organizing world-class conferences to spearheading research collaborations, AASNS is at the forefront of neurosurgical advancement, addressing immediate patient needs while shaping the future of the field through advocacy and sustainable development.
