What I think to myself every time I hear that “it is *impossible* to match in neurosurgery as an IMG”...🤞🏼✨

I'm excited to announce that our 7 abstracts have been accepted at the 2024 CNS (Congress of Neurological Surgeons) Annual Meeting CNS Grateful for the mentors and colleagues who made this possible Niels Pacheco-Barrios M.D Karlos Acurio-Ortiz M.D

Good morning! #2024CNS has officially begun! cns.org/2024

Look out for the amazing work being done in Peru by our research group Astrocyte! Humbled and excited to share that we have 10 abstracts accepted to #AANAM—I’ll be presenting two of them!

A special shoutout to the co-founders and core team whose leadership helped us surpass last year’s 6 abstracts—now at 10! In just over a year, we’ve grown to 100+ members from across Peru and beyond.
