Good morning, 

I hope you're doing well. My name is Lady Gonzalez, and I’m reaching out on behalf of the Brain and Spine Group, a nonprofit organization committed to advancing mentorship and education in neuroscience-related fields.

We are currently accepting applications for our Early Neurosciences Development (END) Programa national mentorship initiative designed for undergraduate students interested in medicine and neuroscience-related careers, such as neurology, neurosurgery, neuroscience research, and more.

The program connects students with mentors and offers early exposure to neuroanatomy, clinical concepts, and research in neuroscience-related fields. In addition to academic enrichment, participants gain valuable skills such as scientific literacy, professional communication, and early clinical insight. The END program also supports students in planning their careers and preparing strong applications for graduate and professional schools, making it an ideal opportunity for those exploring pathways in medicine, neurology, neurosurgery, and related fields.

The application is currently live, and more information can be found on our END application page.
