Dr. Vernard S. Fennell and his colleagues at Ochsner Medical Center and Tulane University School of Medicine Department of Neurosurgery offer select Soka University of America students the opportunity to participate in a 10 to 12-week summer neurosurgery clinical and research preceptorship in New Orleans, Louisiana. Students spend the summer rotating in the neurosurgery operating room, clinic, and neuroanatomy research laboratory gaining exposure to direct patient care and contributing to the department’s research. This is an excellent opportunity for students to gain knowledge, skills, and experience beyond what they can acquire in a classroom setting and expand their professional networks. It also provides them a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge biomedical research and direct patient care during their undergraduate studies. Generous donor funding supports transportation and lodging for selected students.
Applications for summer 2025 will open in November 2024.
