Revolutionizing Brain and Vascular Care Starts Here! 🧠🤩 This year’s NREF conference gave senior residents the opportunity to refine life-saving techniques through hands-on practice with cadaver, animal, and simulator models. From open vascular to endovascular methods, this training is a critical step in preparing fellows to handle complex blood vessel challenges with precision and confidence. Why? Because the more skilled they are, the safer and more effective every procedure becomes. 💙

It was my pleasure to deliver a lecture on Neurosurgical Innovation at Barrow Neurological Institute grand rounds yesterday. I was met at the Phoenix airport by Dr. Brandon Fox, one of the senior neurosurgical residents at BNI. As my topic was innovation, Brandon thought I should experience an AI driving demonstration. Great call, Brandon!
