Top Gun

[Guest]

Represent your residency program and face off against your colleagues in a challenging competition of neurosurgical skills, hosted by the Young Neurosurgeons Committee (YNC) at the AANS Annual Scientific Meeting.

Each year since 2006, the AANS Neurosurgical Top Gun Competition has provided a forum for residents, fellows and medical students to test their skills at various surgical simulation stations and be awarded a score for their efforts. Top scorers at each station are awarded cash prizes. The participant with the best overall score receives a cash prize as well as a prize for his or her residency program.

The AANS website has a list of previous resident winners. Med students are only mentioned in their annual review like the post attached. The girl from A&M won last year.
