Resident SANS Challenge
CNS is thrilled to again host the CNS SANS Challenge for neurosurgical residency programs! The SANS Challenge qualifying exam is held as a team event to build camaraderie, better provide feedback, and increase participation. More details coming soon!
The SANS Challenge reflects a milestones-based assessment, uses peer-vetted questions, and accurately represents the high educational standards SANS has brought to neurosurgery self-assessment and education for more than a decade.
- Each program can submit one exam (Opening spring 2023)
- The exam has 100 questions and your team has 30 minutes to submit as many correct answers as you can.
- Qualifying programs will be notified in summer 2023 to allow time to assemble a team of two residents and one faculty member from the selected institution and make travel arrangements.
- The programs with the top scores will be invited to participate in the live, on-site challenge at the CNS Annual Meeting, September 9-13, in Washington, D.C.
- The live challenge will have multiple prequalifying rounds, followed by a 45-minute final round where the top teams will compete for undisputable SANS bragging rights, trophies, and cash prizes!
