FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question: What is BRAINterns?
Answer: The BRAINterns webinar series is an open-access webinar series geared towards high school, undergraduate, and medical students interested in learning about neurosurgery. That means it is free for anyone interested, regardless of their background.
Question: How is attendance tracked?
Answer: We understand that not everyone can join us live for every webinar due to time zone changes, so we post recordings of each webinar on the Lenox Hill Neurosurgery YouTube channel. As long as you register for the Zoom webinar series, you will receive credit for your participation.
Question: If I cannot join every webinar, will I still receive credit for completing the course?
Answer: You don't need to join every webinar to receive credit. We want you to join webinars that interest you, so don't worry if you aren't at all of the webinars.
Question: Will there be any homework assignments or tests?
Answer: There will not be any assessments on lecture material. We want you to be able to enjoy the lectures without having to worry about getting quizzed on the material!
Question: Can I add the BRAINterns Summer Webinar Series to my resume?
Answer: Everyone is welcome to add this to a resume or application. When adding it to the resume or application, mark it as a course, not as an unpaid internship or a virtual internship.

Question: How can I contact speakers after the webinar series?
Answer: Some speakers choose not to share their emails, but we will post the emails of the ones that offer it. The same goes for the PowerPoints; speakers encourage you to check out the YouTube videos if you want to access the PowerPoints, but we will post any PowerPoints the speakers share with our students in the BRAINterns Slack Channel.
