Give to the Melany Thomas CSNS Endowed Fellowship Fund!
The CSNS has established the Melany Thomas CSNS endowed fellowship aimed to financially support a neurosurgical resident gain competence and understanding on the full spectrum of socioeconomic issues affecting the practice of neurosurgery.
The socioeconomic fellowships were established in 1999 and have been a very successful program in educating and training over 40 residents with the complex issues affecting neurosurgical practices.
A competitive process is in place for application and acceptance into the fellowship. The prospective fellows send an application which is reviewed by the Quadrant of the applicant's origin. Selection is made during the Quadrant's meeting at one of the semi-annual meetings and the selected applicant serves for a one-year term.

Message from the CSNS Chairperson
I am honored to be elected as the Chair of the CSNS. This deliberative, representation organization has a long tradition of addressing the socioeconomic needs of all neurosurgeons. I am proud to have the opportunity, through the CSNS, to serve all neurosurgeons-academic and private practice, urban and rural, independent and employed-to allow us all to provide the highest quality of care to our patients and to achieve continued career satisfaction.
Because there are many socioeconomic issues facing neurosurgeons today, having an active, engaged, and stable CSNS is crucial. Therefore, I have set the following goals for my two year term as chair:
1. To establish long term financial stability for the organization,
2. To foster a unique atmosphere of creativity and diversity that will become strong enough to transcend individual leaders,
3. To build stronger bridges between academic and private practice neurosurgery through new program initiatives,
4. To help empower every neurosurgeon through socioeconomic education and CSNS activity.
I look forward to working with many neurosurgeons in these coming months to achieve these important milestones. Please don't' hesitate to contact me with your thoughts, concerns, challenges, or ideas. All are welcome.
