We understand the importance of clarity and fairness in the fellowship application process. Fellowship Directors, with oversight from the American Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery (ASSFN) has established a policy regarding fellowship offers. Fellowship positions should not be offered more than 2 years prior to the fellowship start date (typically July 1st). While interviews may be conducted earlier, no offers should be extended until within this specified timeframe. This policy ensures equal opportunities for all candidates and upholds the integrity of the selection process. We look forward to supporting you in your pursuit of advanced training in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery.
