Excited to inform you of the recent formation of the SVIN. You will hear much more about it in the near future. Its goal is to promote the training of neurologists as interventionalists being able to perform carotid stenting, AVM/aneurysm embolizations, intracranial stenting, vertebroplasty, etc.

There is opportunity to become a junior member in SVIN. Membership fee is $75, check payable to SVIN, and can be sent to:

Dr. Edgard Pereira
SVIN
6204 Raccoon Run Ct
Louisville, KY 40241

The society's leadership is made of current leaders in interventional neurology from numerous academic institutions across the country.

To learn more about the training guidelines, look up the joint statement by ANA/ASITN in the Neurology, December 2005 issue.

Ok,

so if i wanted to do work invovling new technologies that allowed communication to and from the brain with a computer or similar electronic device, what specialty should i go into???

im thinking neurology because they focus on the actual functioning of the nervous system.

but they dont actually do anything to the body physically do they?? or do they perform any "minimally invasive" procedures??

so with that im thinking maybe neurosurgery??? there would likely be some surgical procedures involved, however these would really be minimal, just to allow an electrical connection to a periphial or central nerve for communications in something.

or is this what interventional neurology would do??

thoughts??
