Departments
Take a look at all of the departments at Connectome that keep us moving forward. Out community has to offer a variety of projects. Look around and if you find something interesting or have an idea don't hesitate and join us!
Education
The Education Pillar aims at bringing you closer to the world of neurosurgery, neurology and general neurosciences.
For that, we regularly organize our so-called Keynote Lectures, which are exciting lectures by doctors from all over the world sharing their knowledge and clinical expertise.
We also create our “Connectome Curriculum” where we bring neuro- knowledge to you through social media. Each month we dive into a different brain-related topic, and present this to our community on Instagram.
Recently we also introduced Interactive Case Study Seminars as well as Connectome Live Alumni Q&A Sessions, which are both exciting new projects to further clinical thinking as well as familiarize patients with different clinical paths
– Join us! We look forward to having you as part of the team!
Science
The Connectome Science Department overviews the association’s scientific endeavours. It organises various events and initiatives such as the "Evolution of a Neuroscientist" and "What's new in neuroscience?" which aim to acquaint students with the research world and give insights into clinical academic careers in the neuro-specialties. Additionally, it also provides students with opportunities to get involved in neurosurgical and neurological research both through the Research Hub, which facilitates contact to reseachers looking for support, and through research projects led by our association.
Social
Policy
Our Social Team is dedicated to addressing social issues within the realms of neurology and neurosurgery. Our main project, the Alice Rosenstein Program, aims to foster collaboration and mentorship between accomplished female neuroleaders and aspiring medical students. This initiative creates a supportive environment that empowers and guides the next generation of female professionals in neurosurgery and neurology. In the current semester, we have organized 7 mentoring groups, each led by an inspiring female neuroleader, with a total of 18 motivated medical students.
