Next Gen Leaders Wanted: AMPLify Launches Year Two
ASSFN is pleased to announce the second year of the AMPLify mentorship program for medical students and residents. ASSFN is currently seeking applications for the 2026-2027 academic year. This past year, ASSFN awarded four high-impact fellowships to outstanding trainees who are now actively engaged in meaningful clinical and scientific work at leading institutions.
Gaining Mentorship, Networking, and Career Growth Through AMPLify
This program is designed to provide early exposure, practical guidance, and networking opportunities in Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery. A key feature of the program is a three-month visiting fellowship at a selected mentor’s institution. This immersive experience allows mentees to conduct a planned research project under the direct guidance of their mentor while also gaining valuable clinical experience. The awardee will receive financial support to offset the costs of housing, board, and travel.
The deadline for submissions is November 1, 2025. To learn more about the program and to apply, please visit: https://assfn.org/amplify
