NSIG, in collaboration with OCCE, successfully hosted an insightful online session featuring recently matched neurology applicants.

The session provided valuable guidance on the residency match journey, including application strategies, building a strong CV, interview preparation, and personal experiences from those who matched into Neurology this year.

A big thank you to our speakers for sharing their advice and inspiring future neurologists.
