The Dr. Grand Neurosurgical Forum is an informal meeting where Neurosurgeons are invited to discuss topics of their choice in a collegial atmosphere. The forum also focuses on gathering friends and family in Ponte Vedra during the spring of each year. So each morning, there are meetings that boast an asymmetric view of neurosurgery with a focus on topics not generally covered in the national meetings. Afternoons are open to spend with family and friends. Then there are social gatherings in the evenings during which the discussions can continue.
