Neurosurgery residents prolific publishers in 2015

Details

The UAB Neurosurgery residents were involved in 50 publications during 2015, and served as first author on 22 of those articles. Through the Department of Neurosurgery’s Office of Clinical Research, residents are helped to publish, by being provided extensive training in evidence-based research, and are given infrastructure support for their studies.
