DESCRIPTION

The Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) is pleased to announce the 8th Annual Neuro-Oncology Fellow and Early Clinician/Investigator Career Retreat which will take place Thursday, November 12, 2026, during the SNO Education Day in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This course includes a comprehensive exploration of issues of importance to those early in their clinical or research career in the field of neuro-oncology.

This annual career retreat is part of SNO’s commitment to the future of neuro-oncology and the specialists who will create it. This program was designed with both clinical and laboratory professionals in mind; we encourage fellows and early career faculty from any related neuro-oncology specialty to participate.

Fellowship Directors, Division Chiefs, and leaders in neuro-oncology: please encourage your fellows and early career faculty to register. The Retreat offers an opportunity to:

• Optimize a job search following fellowship and post-doctoral training
• Explore different work settings (academics, industry, government)
• Learn about attending life – do’s and don’ts – for neuro-oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, neurosurgery, and laboratory investigation
• Engage in discussions about financial aspects of neuro-oncology practice
• Join expanded small group discussions based on specialty areas (Neurosurgery, Neurology, Radiation Oncology, Pediatrics, Laboratory Science) and mentor groups
• Network with peers and senior neuro-oncologists

Past participants strongly agree this course is of high value and would recommend it to a colleague.
