To Present Their Research & Interesting Case Studies in Pediatric Neurology

Founded in 1975, the SPNS is dedicated to fostering interest and learning in child neurology. Presentations by students, residents, junior faculty and others in a friendly atmosphere where questions and constructive comments are designed to improve presentation skills.
Two named lectures, the John B Bodensteiner Presidential lecture and the Paul Dyken Memorial Lecture are presented by distinguished scholars on topics relevant to child neurologists.
SPNS is a 501c3 not for profit organization.
Objective:
Our objective is to provide attendees with useful information from practice-based retrospective studies and case reports in order to enhance their knowledge base and meet their academic and practice-based needs. Further, we direct our efforts primarily towards our junior members (students, residents, and fellows), providing them a platform for the presentation of new information and a forum for open discourse with senior pediatric neurology faculty.
