Balkan Peninsula Neurological Societies and the Turkish Neurological Society (TNS) are delighted to be partnering for a further year to present the Turkish Initiative.
The Turkish Neurological Society (TNS) was founded in 1992 and currently has 2400 members. The aims of the society include contributing to the national and international awareness, diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases at the best possible standards. The TNS is scientifically very active and has high standards of education. Turkish trained neurologists can enter the UEMS/EBN European board examination.
The TNS would like to support the Balkan Neurologists by inviting three Balkan colleagues to visit the Neurology department of a Turkish University Hospital for a duration of 4 weeks.

The visit will take place during November 2015 to coincide with TNS’ Annual National Neurology Congress which will take place in Antalya.
