About this Event

3rd Brain Stimulation Subspecialty Summit

We are pleased to invite you to the 3rd Brain Stimulation Subspecialty Summit.

The goal of this year's meeting will be to create a network across the inaugural accredited subspecialty fellowship programs, help different programs understand each other, and build a framework for subspecialty training that spans brain stimulation components of interventional psychiatry, movement disorders, epilepsy, functional neurosurgery, and other areas.

We look forward to your participation in this important annual gathering.

We recommend staying at the Row Hotel at Assembly Row (Marriott Autograph Collection). As of 1/3/2026, the hotel is cheaper via Trivago than with a formal hotel block: trivago.deals/hotels/united-states_ma_somerville/566433_the-row-hotel-at-assembly-row-autograph-collection?checkIn=2026-03-22&checkOut=2
