- Such an honor and pleasure reuniting with my mentor Dr. Pascal Jabbour. I emailed him as a medical student in Lebanon to come shadow him, and it did not take even a minute for him to respond. The rest is history! Thoroughly enjoyed his grand rounds talk today at Hopkins:)
It was such an honor to be invited as visiting professor at the Johns Hopkins Neurosurgery Department, the home of so many pioneers of our specialty Cushing, Dandy and so many others ! A premier clinical and academic hub! @fegomd @DrJudyHuang @RAFAELTAMARGO #JCaplan @FeghaliJames - A look at which medical schools are producing the most neurosurgery residents: data from the 2014-2020 match periods published @TheJNS! Nice to see @HopkinsNsurg up there! #MedTwitter #Neurosurgery #match2022 thejns.org/view/journals/…
- Which medical schools are recruiting the most women into neurosurgery? The latest paper @TheJNS from our resident recruitment series delves into that question and so much more! bit.ly/3HJJ7Eb #Neurosurgery #matching2022 #WomenInMedicine @eewicks @DrJudyHuang
- A tip for my U.S. immigrant friends: if you keep wondering how long a “foot” is, think Subway sandwich. You’re welcome. #subway #metricsystem #meter #kilogram #celsius
- That’s a great point about another disadvantage for IMGs, in addition to the conversion of step 1 to P/F. Things could be more equitable. In the meantime, I have no doubt IMGs will continue to match…in ever-increasing numbers, because of great mentorship. The number 1 factor.Offering Interviews only to candidates who had signaled the program would reduce the chances for IMGs because it’s limiting them to 25 programs only, while IMGs would apply to all the programs 115 to try to maximize their chances! There must be a better way!#NeurosurgeryMatch2023
- The first resident I met at JHH when I moved to Baltimore. He welcomed me with open arms and showed me the ropes. I owe a lot to you Wuyang! Congratulations on the award and on being so close to finishing up:)Leaving Hopkins soon 🫡 Been here for 14 years Starting endovascular fellowship in U Florida Gainesville. Looking forward to it 🫡🫡🫡
00:00- Insights from a large AVM registry: As many as 2.4% of patients treated with complete microsurgical resection experienced a lesion-negative hemorrhage, a bleed in the same location as the previously resected AVM with no documented recurrence! @abhigami academic.oup.com/neurosurgery/a…
- Great collaboration with @KhalafallahAM and @NeuroOncSurgery showcasing top IMG feeder schools in neurosurgery and predictors of an academic trajectory! Amazing to see @AUB_Lebanon topping the list! #proudInternational Medical Graduates #IMGs have enriched the special field of #neurosurgery for generations We identified top #medschool & #residency programs for neurosurgery IMGs + predictors of their success in academic careers Check out the results: tinyurl.com/3d2hupy3
- #MachineLearning doesn't automatically mean better. In this paper @NeurosurgeryCNS on subarachnoid hemorrhage models, we show that generalizability for ML models is key! journals.lww.com/neurosurgery/F… @DrJudyHuang @WuyangYang1 @tdazad @eewicks
- Which neurosurgery programs are more likely to recruit students from their home medical school? We have put together a summary of home-program matching patterns over a seven-year period @WorldNeurosurg pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35595044/ @WuyangYang1 @eewicks
