Please note that only these forms are to be used for supplying information and surgical statistics and only requested information is to be attached. The information being submitted should be as concise as possible. Do not attach any unnecessary materials such as curriculum vitae, reprints, brochures, annual reports, minutes of meetings, etc. The RRC will not review unsolicited preprinted materials.

This form is designed so that all information regarding intramural or multi-site programs can be included on one set of forms. A complete set of these forms should be sent to each participating hospital so it can provide its own statistics. The same reporting period must be used by all participating sites. Information is

Surgical List for Sites: Statistics are to be provided for the most recent full academic year (July 1st to June 30th) for which this information is available. The same reporting period must be used by all participating sites. The information is to be provided in separate totals for the site’s staff and the resident(s) training at the site. Grand totals are to be provided in the fifth column for all sites. Forms must be typed. All copies must be legible. NOTE: Computer print-outs or any other method employed in reporting SITE statistics to the Residency Review Committee will not be accepted. Only the surgical list provided is to be used. Use the "Other" category only for procedures that cannot be classified any other way.

Resident’s Surgical Log: The Resident's Surgical Log is included with these forms. Statistics are to be provided on this form only. Graduating Chief/Senior resident(s) must submit his/her ENTIRE neurological surgery operative experience gained within the approved sites of the program.
