Students Set to Explore Exciting Career Opportunities, Network at Today’s Symposium

Medical students will have a unique opportunity to explore exciting career opportunities within neurology at today’s Medical Student Symposium: Careers in Neurology from 12:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Omni Boston Seaport in Ensemble A, B, and D. Students will gain an understanding about careers in neurology, the various subspecialty areas in neurology, and be able to network with residents and neurologists.

The event will kick off with a luncheon, where medical students will be seated at a table with a physician and resident/fellow. Benjamin M. Greenberg, MD, FAAN, of the University of Texas Southwestern, will provide the keynote address on “Why Neurology Is Rewarding.” A lively discussion will follow with moderators leading a panel comprised of a resident, medical student, and program director through a series of questions like “What does it mean to do a residency in neurology? What are they looking for in a candidate? What if I want to do research? Other advice for getting into residency?”

For the latter portion of the event, students will meet and speak with physicians who represent 20 different neurology subspecialties who will share information about their subspecialty, their education and career paths, and how they maintain a work-life balance, before ending the day networking around such subspecialties as those in the adjacent column.
