A remarkable achievement for International Medical Graduates (IMGs) in Neurosurgery this year, securing an exceptionally high number of U.S. residency positions. Out of 241 positions, U.S. IMGs secured 4 (1.7%) and Non-U.S. IMGs 16 (6.6%). A stellar class already!

Difficult conversations are rarely as unpleasant as we expect.

7 studies: we're too pessimistic about leveling with friends & partners. We fixate on what could go wrong, overlooking what might go right.

Relationships stagnate in silence. Candor opens the door to growth.

Fantastic talk at Winter Clinics by Mayfield Clinic and their therapy team by Megan Connett looking at critical importance of stabilizing lumbar musculature and impact on outcomes. These muscles matter a lot in recovery and treatment doesn’t end after OR!

There's no such thing as an ideal daily routine. The best model is the one that works for you.

Successful people don't keep similar schedules. Their common practice is experimenting to learn what suits them.

Don't be a slave to others' habits. One size doesn't fit all minds.
