Medical student education is very important! Early exposure to the different subspecialties helps students choose the right path for them. Here is one of our APD Dr. Schunemann presenting on what a career in neurosurgery looks like to our Ohio State 1st year medical students

Check out this recent pub . Grip strength is super easy and cheap, and does a good job of predicting discharge to home, length of stay, and need for ICU after adult deformity correction. Grip was actually superior to frailty index on discharge to home

TLIF are one of the workhorses of spine surgery. Every spine surgeon, regardless of how good you are at other techniques and approaches, should know how to do a good TLIF
