    Join us for our inaugural CNS Wellness Retreat at the Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston. Prior to jumping into all of the scientific sessions and hustle and bustle at the convention center – submerse yourself in the tranquility that awaits you at the luxurious Post Oak Hotel. This immersive 1.5 day retreat will feature yoga, meditation and sessions designed to reduce stress, neck, lower back and foot pain, improve work-life balance, and address common areas for improvement such as healthy eating hacks in the OR and managing administration. Attendees will learn valuable tools to immediately incorporate into their daily lives. The program begins with a reception on Friday evening, early morning sessions on Saturday, free time to enjoy the spa Saturday afternoon and will conclude by 11:00 am on Sunday allowing attendees the opportunity to attend an afternoon Symposium and get checked in at an official CNS hotel to begin their annual meeting experience. Space is extremely limited for this intimate offering - early registration is recommended.
    $-Ticketed Session: Designed for the future neurosurgeon leader in conjunction with the CNS Leadership Institute. Leadership skills are necessary throughout all aspects of Neurosurgery including practice development, department management, navigating hospital administration, and organized neurosurgery. Topics will include leadership core competencies, as well as setting goals and establishing mentorship. The course will including didactic lectures as well as break-out sessions and small group exercises. Senior residents, fellows, and those in the first two years of practice will gain the most from this symposium.

    $-Ticketed Session: Join the ASBN at the CNS Annual Meeting for a dynamic session focused on advancing diversity and equity in neurosurgery. As advocates for the advancement of underrepresented minorities in neurosurgery, ASBN recognizes the urgent need for concerted efforts to increase the representation of historically marginalized groups, particularly Black Americans, in our profession. Underrepresentation not only limits diversity within our specialty but also perpetuates disparities in healthcare access and outcomes for minority communities. Embracing diversity fosters innovation, creativity, and excellence in addressing the complex challenges of neurosurgical practice. By coming together to address these critical issues, we can create a more inclusive and equitable future for our profession and the patients we serve. Speakers will discuss mentorship, breaking barriers, and fostering equal opportunities.

    $-Ticketed Session: PM&R and Anesthesiologists are increasingly involved in managing patients with chronic pain. Ideally, a comprehensive pain management strategy involving various members of the team is optimal for good patient care. This session will describe strategies for pain management that the typical neurosurgeon does not do, followed by neurosurgical options for pain management. Finally, the session will address how to ideally set up a socio-economically successful comprehensive pain management program.

    The symposium will delve into the intricate ethical dilemmas arising from the use of invasive brain implants for treating neuropsychiatric syndromes like Parkinson's disease and depression as well as healthy subjects seeking augmentative therapies. These technologies, while promising for enhancing patients' quality of life, raise critical questions regarding consent, privacy, and potential unintended consequences. By addressing these ethical concerns, the symposium aims to guide the direction of future technological trends in neuromodulation, ensuring that advancements in the field align with the highest standards of patient care and ethical principles.

    The CNS Guidelines are evidence-based summaries of the scientific literature written by topic experts to provide neurosurgeons with the information they need to provide the best care to patients suffering from common neurosurgical conditions. In the Guidelines Sessions, authors discuss the key conclusions of recent Guidelines projects to promote the dissemination of this broadly applicable information around the field. In this session, Guidelines authors discuss their conclusions regarding the treatment and management of patients with Chiari malformations.
