A new government-backed program is pushing black high schoolers to be neurosurgeons

Essence quoted Elad I. Levy in a story about a new initiative deployed by the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, of which Levy serves as president, that aims to make the field of neurosurgery more diverse. The CNS Foundation recently announced the launch of Pathway to Neurosurgery, a new program for Washington, D.C., high school students interested in the career path. “As CNS president, it has been a privilege to witness the growth and development of this critical mission-centric project, offering exposure to the wonders of neuroscience to these exceptional students,” Levy said.
