Select Neurological Surgery programs may participate in program signaling (25 signals). Please visit the ERAS application webpage for information, guidance, timelines, and resources on completing the ERAS application.

The AAMC and Organization of Program Director Associations (OPDA) are collaborating in an effort to increase transparency in the residency application process through the use of a Residency application guide for each specialty. See guidance here for more details on LoR, away rotations, signals, interview format, and more.

Neurological Surgery Leadership has asked all candidates to follow this prompt when writing their personal statement for the 2026 season: Neurosurgery is an arduous but rewarding career track. Describe your vision for your future career as a neurosurgeon. Discuss the challenges you foresee for your career as a neurosurgeon. Discuss the competencies and experiences you have had that prepare you for that future career and to face those challenge effectively.

Watch the AAMC-hosted Neurological Surgery Spotlight webinar for helpful advisor and program director insights in this recruitment season.
