Neurosurgical Residency never looked so good. We made it through bootcamp—so when I tell my patient I’m their neurosurgical resident, I’ll be saying it with a bit more gusto. Also did I mention, I have the best co-interns at the best program in the country. Duke Neurosurgery

It makes my heart full to see these portraits of future surgeons. This is why we created FLXSUS. It is a huge honor to have the ability to expose college students to different surgical specialties. We are inspiring the next generation of surgeons.
