Congrats on this remarkable progress. Grateful to the support system, and programs, for believing in us. To #amgs and #imgs who didn't make it this time, keep pushing forward. Remember, the only way you won't become a #neurosurgeon is if you give up! Keep up the good work!!

A remarkable achievement for International Medical Graduates (IMGs) in Neurosurgery this year, securing an exceptionally high number of U.S. residency positions. Out of 241 positions, U.S. IMGs secured 4 (1.7%) and Non-U.S. IMGs 16 (6.6%). A stellar class already!

Saw this in one of the hospital's bulletin boards. "Never lose sight of the people behind your charts. Each chart represents a person with feelings, a history, a life — whom you have the power to touch for one day by your words and actions."

Given complex reimbursement process #insurance status plays a significant role in determining care . Our study @TheJNS - PEDS investigates the impact of having Govt. vs private insurance on adolescent SCI treatment. Thanks @AElsamadicyMD for this opportunity and guidance (1/4)

@ERASinfo @ecfmg If we know every year this a busy time for @ECFMG_IMG and @ERASinfo which causes significant delays in approving LoRs, maybe we can work towards finding an optimal solution so that processing time for #usmd and #img is same. Delays in LoRs can cost someone a residency spot.

Some key points: - GI cohort ( @MedicareGov @MedicaidGov & other state insurance) had significantly lower proportion of non-Hispanic white pts than private insurance cohort. - While transportation was the most common cause for SCI, assault was more common in GI cohort (2/4)
