NRCDP’s Retreat
The Retreat is the thought-provoking and informative cornerstone of the Neurosurgeon Research Career Development Program. It provides an opportunity for junior faculty to interact directly with the NRCDP national advisory committee members, senior neurosurgery faculty, and NIH/NINDS career development leaders in a small-group interactive format that allows for individual mentoring and career development advice.
This year’s Retreat will be held from October 21-24, 2021 at Deer Valley Resort located at 2880 Deer Valley Drive East, Park City, UT 84060.
