SFNS Membership Application

Who are we?

Our organization has been advancing knowledge and improving practice in the neurosciences for 60 years. We bring together the art and science of neurology, neurosurgery, neuroradiology, neuro-oncology, neuropathology, neuropsychiatry, physiatry, and related fields. We learn from each other about the latest in research and practice, gaining academic and clinical wisdom.

Your membership enables us to continue and expand our unique blend of academic programs and fellowship that benefits all of us. Your renewal also helps keep our member and mailing data base up to date, so that you can be notified about upcoming programs.

 What does SFNS offer to its members?
The Society is committed to the professional development and continuing medical education of its members and has been since its inception in 1947.  Members receive discounts on the Annual Meeting registration and all evening dinner meetings and can obtain a total of upto 20 CME credits throughout the year without ever leaving the Bay Area.

To quote Past President Dr. Eric Denys, "The Society has a long tradition of combining scientific excellence and social interaction with peers, allowing us to share the pleasures and challenges of life. There is absolutely no better forum to meet colleagues, whom you otherwise may know by name only."  

Member benefits include:

• A $75 discount off registration fees to the Annual Meeting of the SF Neurological Society, including 15 hours of Category 1 credits towards the California Medical Association’s Certification in Continuing Medical Education and the American Medical Association’s Physician’s Recognition Award. 

• A  discount off registration fees to six dinner programs spread out in the Greater Bay Area throughout the year. Each meeting is accredited for 1 hour of CME and the topics and speakers cover a broad range of the most current issues in the neurosciences.

• Society Meeting Announcements are mailed and e-mailed prior to each scheduled meeting.
