Doubtful these subjects will be as fun for others to listen to as they were to talk about, but appreciate the opportunity none the less. Also failed to mention the ways surfing and neurosurgery are alike…

After operating with one of our superstar graduating chiefs this week, @VictoriaEClark, we were debriefing on our cases and speaking about post residency career strategies. This is the time of the year where post-residency considerations are at the forefront for those soon to graduate. One domain for all of us to think about and plan for as surgeons is "how will I continue improve as a surgeon?".

I like to encourage our graduates to plan for a very active phase of professional development that will occur immediately post residency. Residency has set the foundation for you to rapidly accelerate your surgical skills, particularly in the first 5-10 years after residency training. Naturally, you will likely notice greater speed and confidence with tissue handling, micro-dissection, a better understanding of high risk factors influencing surgical outcomes, and develop better surgical planning. But your skills can be further enhanced with a model of 'deliberate practice', in and out of the operating room. @geoffcolvin described this in his book, "Talent is Overrated". In this clip, Colvin highlights the thesis, and describes the reception his ideas received from the neurosurgical community.

During this early post-residency phase, your 'coaches' are neurosurgical colleagues and mentors, the courses and offerings from @cns_update, @aansneuro, @thejns, @NeurosurgeryCNS and online resources like @neurosurgatlas. Your inner drive to improve, gain feedback, and perform at the highest level will set the stage for professional fulfillment and this will all be to the benefit of your patients.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the upcoming #AANS2023 meeting as you continue your journey of #neurosurgicallearning. Feel free to drop by our Friday evening @mghneurosurg reception at the AANS in the Diamond Ballroom from 6-8 pm if you’d like to connect with me or any of the @mghneurosurg team and share your neurosurgical journey.

Congratulations and welcome to the @MGHNeurosurg family!

[MGBNeurosurgResidency @MGBNSResidency]

We are excited to welcome our 2023 Match class: Drs. Adrian Rodrigues, Grace Ng, and Jacob Kosyakovsky! Congrats to all those to matched in Neurosurgery this year. We look forward to your many future contributions to Neurosurgery #MatchDay2023 #Neurosurgery @MGHNeurosurg

[Ian D Connolly, MD MS @IDavidConnolly]

Nice lessons from friend and colleague @MyronRolle at @spinesection spine summit bringing in learnings from the playing field to the operating room! Be coachable and have short term memory when it comes to the losses. @JohnHShinMD @MGHNSResidency @MGHNeurosurg

[Faith Robertson MD PhD MBA @FaithCRobertson]

You can’t manage what you don’t measure. In #neurosurgery, would we benefit f/ objective metrics for technique? Simulation can facilitate focused practice & track improvement via spaced repetition learning. See our paper in @TheJNS

Invigorated by @DrScottHadland’s call to action at #SAHM23 to prevent opioid overdose deaths in youth. We MUST do better than 67% of youth dying with a bystander present and naloxone administration in <1/3 of cases.

[Mount Sinai Neurosurgery @MountSinaiNeuro]

“Don't give up!” Dr Saadi Ghatan shares successes in thalamic responsive neurostimulation & how it helps kids who weren’t thought as surgery candidates. We must work towards faster neuromodulatory efficacy, especially in kids. #2022CNS @ASSFNeurosurg @CNS_Update @MountSinaiNeuro

Groundbreaking day in surgical epilepsy! 🤞🏽 that this cutting-edge therapy proves viable for a tenacious disease.

Excited for @MGHNeurosurg's involvement under @RMarkRichardson

[Dario J. Englot @Englot]

At @VUMChealth we recently implanted the first patient in the country in the NAUTILUS trial of @NeuroPace RNS for idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Hoping for a game changer for debilitated patients with few surgical options.
