Just in case you were wondering, our residents do NOT live in a village in the basement. Their dwelling is on the 6th floor and they even have a (painted shut) window. Also none of them use a reflex hammer so that part is totally inaccurate. @DGlaucomflecken

Why Vanderbilt? (Day 2) PATHOLOGY With a referral base including 7 states, millions of people, and no other academic medical center for <150 miles in any direction we see it all, and so do our residents. We don’t fight for great cases and neither do they.

Why Vanderbilt? (Day 9) FUNCTIONAL With a surgical epilepsy program in the top 10 in the country and a DBS volume consistently in the top 3, we have the clinical volume needed for residents to master these techniques. Multiple NIH funded labs transform the future of therapy.

One of the stand-out features of our training program is the involvement of residents in major educational initiatives. We train the future trainers - and a commitment to teaching and mentorship is something we look for in our applicants.

Proud to be a part of ⁦ @VUMC_Neurosurg ⁩ and appreciative of my colleagues. Faculty, fellows, residents and students spent 90 min this AM workshopping how we can provide the best mentorship to our students/future neurosurgeons. Amazing engagement and ideas.
