The Boston Declaration, launched at the 2025 American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) meeting in Boston, is a global initiative and pledge by neurosurgical societies (like the AANS) and individuals to improve access to equitable, safe, and affordable neurosurgical care worldwide, addressing disparities and promoting global health through concrete actions, advocacy, and collaborative efforts.
NeuroRounds took the podium twice to make commitments to how we would be a part of improving neurosurgical education and care worldwide. When a med school or medical organization sees NeuroRounds in your CV, they know that it means you share that commitment. Let's make 2026 the year you got serious.
Whether you’re premed, a med student, resident, or a healthcare professional from any specialty, you’ll see how information becomes diagnosis, how options become decisions, and how teams communicate under pressure. You’ll practice the habits that matter: structured thinking, crisp presentation, and evidence-based reasoning—so the child who wanted to be a doctor becomes the clinician you’re becoming.
Join us Tuesday, February 3 - 7:00 AM ET.
Bring your questions. Bring your curiosity. Leave with practical frameworks you can use on your next rotation, in your next interview, and throughout your career.
If you’ve been looking for a mentor-level experience without the gatekeeping, this is it.
See you at rounds—where dreams grow up and go to work.
NeuroRounds is designed for serious learners—med students, pre-med, NP, PA/PA-C, and all healthcare professionals looking to sharpen their skills and build their resume.
Join Mark R. McLaughlin, MD, FACS, FAANS and med-student co-host Maggie Fitzpatrick, MS along with attendees from around the world.
NeuroRounds is hosted by neurosurgeon Mark McLaughlin, MD and medical student Maggie Fitzpatrick, MS.
