It's great to see ideas like this one come to life. Can we use a blood test to diagnose a brain tumor? Perhaps planning the pre-operative and operative treatment based on prior knowledge of the molecular diagnostics?

Great to work with our subI's and residents at MGH and talk about career plans. Worth noting on occasion...it is OK to bloom late after building a strong foundation; you will bring a great deal of experience and range to your ultimate area of focus.

One outstanding example of mentorship of the faculty
@MGHNeurosurg
is exemplified by Dr. Kris Kahle, our Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery.
@KahleKristopher
is indefatigable, a role model of a surgeon scientist, a caring clinician, and the Zervas Endowed Chair in Neurosurgery.
Overwhelmed with gratitude for the four young men from
@kahlelab
who matched today in neurosurgery -

So true! I’m so impressed by the quality of individuals who are coming into the field of neurosurgery. These individuals will succeed and make tremendous contributions. We are in good hands for the future!
This is something to think about for medical students as they await their neurosurgery match! Future is wide open no matter where you land. Don’t let your match dictate your self worth - or destiny.
