The Student Interest Group in Neurology (SIGN) at the University of Minnesota is a student-run organization that brings together medical students who are interested in learning about Neurology and its connection to the other clinical neurosciences. Everyone is welcome, from dedicated future neurologists to those who would simply like to hear more about the field.
SIGN holds several lecture events each year on topics related to Neurology, Child Neurology and the clinical neurosciences. SIGN’s close working relationship with the faculty and residents of the Department of Neurology allows SIGN to host a wide variety of events.
Additionally, we are launching a shadowing program so that SIGN members still in their preclinical years can gain an exposure to the practice of Neurology. Members also participate in events such as the American Heart Association's Stroke Walk.
The U of MN SIGN chapter is also proud to maintain http://www.student.med.umn.edu/sign – a resource for medical students throughout the country considering a future in Neurology.
