Neurosurgery Fellowship Match

The Fellowship Match for Neurosurgery (FM-Craniofacial) was established in 1993. Its goal is to coordinate fellowship appointments, thus relieving the pressure of uncoordinated appointments and forced early choices. The participating programs will not make any appointments until the match has been completed. A November match date was chosen since it allows more rotations for residents and more evaluation time for faculty. Through the match, applicants may mix preferences for sub-specialties.

Sponsorship

The Society of Neurological Surgeons sponsors the matching process and is responsible for enforcement at applicable rules. The Matching office does not sponsor or approve any of the participating programs. The function of the Matching Program is strictly limited to processing of the match. Listing or not listing of any program in the directory does not imply any form of approval, disapproval or endorsement. The decision to be listed or not rests solely with each individual Program Director.
