Scientific Celebrations
As we commemorate the momentous 100th anniversary of the Division of Neurosurgery at the University of Toronto's Temerty Faculty of Medicine, it is with great pride that we introduce the scientific courses at our centennial symposium.
This curated program presents an in-depth exploration of our division's storied past, current innovations, and the exciting future of neurosurgery in Toronto. Each course has been meticulously designed to offer a comprehensive overview, from the foundational developments in neurosurgical specialties to the latest in technological advancements and forward-thinking conversations spearheaded by esteemed experts.
This year, as we celebrate a century of excellence, the contributions of the Scientific Committee and the Planning Committee have been paramount. Their collaborative spirit and meticulous attention to detail have been key in orchestrating a symposium that not only honours our past but also looks forward to the future with anticipation and excitement
We would like to take this opportunity to introduce the members of both the Scientific Committee and the Planning Committee, whose expertise and hard work have made this event possible.
