[Deja Rush, MD @DJRush8]

Wow! I matched into #neurosurgery at @BrownNSGY! This has been a long journey from a Big Ten undergrad (Go Bucks!) to an HBCU med school (H-U!) to the Ivy League for residency. I’m super excited to see where the road ahead takes me. Thank you to my village that got me here 💜

An awesome weekend put together by @SNS_Neurosurg and hosted by @TuftsNeurosurg . Great to see friends from the interview trail and make new ones. Zoe and I are officially ready to take on intern year!

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. @Dukeneurosurg

Happy Juneteenth to our ancestors. This is really their day, and should be about both deep reverence and celebration for how far we have come.

Update! We’re coming for every wall at HUH because that’s the neurosurgeon way 💪🏾! Shout-out to @NOORMALIKAbdul1 @DJRush8 @RodeaniaPeart for making it to the wall 🙏🏾 🎉! Of course none of this would be possible without our fearless leader @DamirezFossett 🫡 #Neurosurgery #MedEd

Today was my last day of med school. 4 years gone in the blink of an eye! I scrubbed 212 neurosurgical cases, served as President of HUCM’s AANS chapter, published multiple papers and made junior AOA. Wouldn’t trade my experience for anything! #Neurosurgery #MedTwitter
