COLOMBIAN ASSOCIATION OF NEUROSURGERY
WHAT IS
The Colombian Association of Neurosurgery is a non-profit entity
of scientific and union character. As a scientific organization, it
aims at studying and investigating the neurosurgical sciences in
every of its aspects. As a trade-union organization, it helps the
social conglomerate benefit of high-level specialists in each and
every branch of neurosurgical sciences, as well as defending the members
interests. To meet these expectations, it shall stimulate the formation of suitable
specialists, spread the knowledge of neurosurgical sciences and control the
exercise of the specialty.
WHAT OUGHT TO BE:
Among its organizational jurisdiction and its strategic plan takes place the
creation of learning processes, which would ease the continued training of
neurosurgical specialists and resident doctors who thereby can find the
opportunity of updating their knowledge and strengthening their formation. For
the development of their continued education programs are used the following
strategies:
WEBPAGE - www.acncx.orgOur page is where the events are monthly recorded, and that allows us to

REVISTA NEUROCIENCIAS EN COLOMBIAOur official organ published three times a year. One of its most
important functions is to ease and improve communication between
its members, at a scientific level as well as related to the professional
practice in all of its aspects.
UPDATE IN NEUROSURGERYIn this monthly-published fascicle are dealt with themes of interest and
controversy. The content is discussed, and the readers can use the webpage to
send their opinion.
REGIONAL COURSES AND NATIONAL CONGRESSWe wish to stimulate the regional think-tanks, that is why takes place every
three months in an intermediate city a course for generalist and specialist
doctors. This activity will end up every two years with the National Congress,
where the specialists of the country massively come to introduce their works of
research. It is the very forum for our scientific production.
SIMPOSIUM INTERNACIONALIt is the most important event of our association and the one
allowing our specialists in activity and in training to assist toconferences which invited speakers are foreign professors, all
supported by the World Federation of Neurosurgery Societies.

It is a pleasure to show a neurosurgical community friendly to its guests, and
attentive to innovations; questioning, with all due respect, the applicability to
our process of advances.
The Colombian Association of
Neurosurgery is a non-profit organization, and
survives thanks to the contribution of its
members.
For the National and International
congress are joining public and private
institutions, with which are shared
professional objectives so that it may for
instance contribute to the continued education of the professional of the
country.
The regional and national congresses as well as the international events and
theoretical-practical workshops are expensive events; with great effort anddiverse sources of financing we have been able to design them in uninterrupted
form.
The sources of financing are:
1. Inscriptions2. Commercial fair and sale of locals (3 x 2 mts) within the Simposium3. Contribution from private entities.4. (Airlines-Foundations)5. Support by public institutions.
