Meet the Clack Family Fellows – 2024

Congratulations to the two new Clack Family Fellows, Dr. Kamga Nkouli Steve Jacquier and Dr. Hugues Ghislain Atakla. As the 2024 Clack Family Fellowship awardees, they will receive funds to continue their neurosurgical education in their home countries.

"This fellowship was key in opening my eyes to the vast advancements in neurosurgery. With the limited number of neurosurgeons with vascular experience in my country, exposure to complex vascular techniques and approaches were a rarity."
