French Society of Neurosurgery / Societe Française de Neurochirurgie (SFNC)

Created in December 1969 by Jean Pecker, the French Society of Neurosurgery now has around 250 members (all senior neurosurgeons represent 587 people). Despite our small number, the history and development of our specialty requires us to structure by sub-specialty sector in order to identify in our teams practitioners endowed with specific skills in topics such as the functional, the vascular, neuro-oncology, etc ...

Thus the SFNC is structured into components, whether sections, clubs, associations, which lead scientific reflection according to their center of interest. The Administrative and Scientific Council (CSA) is made up of 8 elected members, and Presidents and managers of the various components of the specialty.

The goals of this company are:
• to harmonize research in Neurosurgery at the national level and to favor its international promotion,
• to bring together French Neurosurgeons in periodic meetings in order to promote exchanges and the development of the specialty,
• to participate in an interface with the College of Neurosurgery in the promotion - of the teaching of Neurosurgery at the national level,
• to study the problems of organization of the profession by becoming the interlocutor of the supervisory authorities that are the HAS, the DGOS, the Ministry of Health.
