2018 AANS Annual Scientific Meeting-587. Creation of Academic Neurosurgery Leaders: Characteristics and Career Outcomes of AANS/NREF Research Award Recipients

587. Creation of Academic Neurosurgery Leaders: Characteristics and Career Outcomes of AANS/NREF Research Award Recipients

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Taylor Wilson from the University of Arkansas discusses the creation of academic neurosurgery leaders by analyzing the characteristics and career outcomes of recipients of the double ANS NREF research award. Wilson hypothesized that winning this award would lead to success in an academic career in neurosurgery. The analysis showed that winning the NREF award was correlated with early academic success. Most winners were residents when they won, with the fifth year being the most common year of winning. The research category most commonly won was neuro-onc, followed by functional. Winners with a research topic in vascular surgery were most likely to become a chair. Regional variations were also observed, with the Northeast having the most winners. NREF award winners were more likely to have a PhD and a master's degree compared to other members. Overall, the NREF award has been associated with higher rates of success in an academic neurosurgery career.
