The authors, most of whom participated in milestone development as members of the Neurological Surgery Milestone Working Group, wish to thank the members of the Neurological Surgery Milestone Advisory Group and of the original Neurological Surgery Working Group for their contributions to this work: Cargill H. Alleyne Jr, MD; Nicholas Barbaro, MD; Daniel Barrow, MD; Hunt Batjer, MD; Timothy Brigham, MDiv, PhD; Kim Burchiel, MD; Ralph Dacey Jr, MD; Arthur Day, MD; Allan Friedman, MD; Griffith R.

The Milestones are designed only for use in evaluation of resident physicians in the context of their participation in ACGME-accredited residency or fellowship programs. The Milestones provide a framework for the assessment of the development of the resident physician in key dimensions of the elements of physician competency in a specialty or subspecialty. They neither represent the entirety of the dimensions of the 6 domains of physician competency, nor are they designed to be relevant in any other context.
