The Student Interest Group in Neurology is a chapter of the American Academy of Neurology, whose purpose is to increase knowledge and foster interest in Neurology by providing opportunities to participate in clinical, research, and service activities in Neurology.
SIGN offers research and shadowing opportunities, mentorship including a residency workshop, and regular talks on various topics in Neurology. Within the larger Baylor College of Medicine community, SIGN aims to provide a venue for medical students to interact with faculty members and residents through social and educational events to develop valuable contacts and relationships that will help support students’ educational goals.
