I am thrilled to spotlight @isa_stockman Isabelle Stockman, our stellar student @UB_Neurosurgery
as she gears up for this season's neurosurgery match. She's a great student at all levels : clinical, research and interpersonal skills.
She is a top-tier competitive candidate!
As Step 1 changed to pass/fail, what actually predicts success in the neurosurgery match?
An interesting look at how program selection may be evolving with fewer and fewer metrics to compare qualified applicants! https://t.co/1ZusOQoq9c

The inaugural Buffalo Emerging Spine Tech course was a resounding success. Many thanks to go around. Great faculty and attendees. Most of all, thanks to all those that helped make it happen.
Already looking ahead to next year!

As Scientific Program Chair, I've reviewed the data:
100% of abstracts NOT submitted by May 18 do not get selected.
Beat the deadline, aim for #2026CNS abstract awards, and lock in early-bird savings 👉 https://t.co/n8jdXN2mKS #CNSEvolution@BCMNeurosurgery
11 days! It’s crunch time!! Less than 2 weeks to get your abstracts and best science in for the @CNS_Update Annual Meeting. Don’t miss out on the best opportunity to get your work on the national neurosurgery stage!! @CNSResidents@cvsection
Follow-up for neurosurgery applicants in the 2026–2027 cycle: @AAMCtoday built a curated hub with neurosurgery-specific application resources, signaling guidance, and interview prep. Bookmark it 👇

Physician owned hospitals should be option for patients. We should repeal 6001 of the ACA. We should inject market forces into hospital monopolies. POHs have up to 15% less cost than traditional hospitals and have consistently strong quality and patient satisfaction scores while treating proportionally equivalent patient populations.
This competition will make care better for patients.

Thank you to all @CNS_Update volunteers! A special shoutout to our SANS volunteers—your hard work behind the scenes is vital to our field's education. #NationalVolunteerMonth

Physician payment cuts threaten independent practices. This harms patients in three serious ways. A new bipartisan bill can help.
This matters more for patients than physicians…
