Ambassador Fellowship Application 2011--Deadline July 1 2011
The American Association of South Asian
Neurosurgeons (AASAN) is an
organization 1. To serve as a venue for neurosurgeons of South Asian descent to meet and get to know each other, thus encouraging professional and personal interactions
2. To promote education among and between US-based neurosurgeons of south asian origin and neurosurgeons in India.
3. To serve as a contact
point for neurosurgical organizations from South Asia with their South
Asian counterparts in the USA
4. To facilitate and sponsor
scientific and neurosurgical interactions between the US and South Asia
SCOPE:
Membership in AASAN is open
to neurosurgeons from South Asia and includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh,
Bhutan, India, Iran, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The core
purpose is to socially unite its South Asian neurosurgical membership as
a networking and professional society. The organization wishes to
enhance professional exchange between South Asian neurosurgeons in the
US and those in their native countries. This should allow the
dissemination of intellectual and technical skills across geographic
borders for the betterment of our patients.
MEETINGS:
We currently have two
meetings a year - one during the American Association of Neurological
Surgeons (AANS)
(www.aans.org)
meeting and the other during the Congress of Neurological Surgeons – CNS
(www.cns.org)
meeting. The meetings are typically held on a Monday night at 5:00 PM.
The meeting time and location are emailed to the membership, posted on
the web site (www.aasan.us) and
also listed in the program book of the particular annual meeting.
Following the meeting, we generally have a social gathering and dinner
at a local restaurant. All neurosurgeons of South Asian descent and
others with an interest in South Asia are most welcome to attend.
