Published today in JAMA Network Open, a study from The Neuro, McGill University and Neurosurgical Simulation and AI Learning Centre shows that in a remote environment, an #AI program can outperform human instructors in neurosurgeon training. mcgill.ca/neuro/channels…

The 1st randomized controlled trial to assess #AI for teaching medical students to do brain surgery: superior to expert instruction jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… JAMA Network Open

The CGS and the #McGill Global Health Scholars program supported Ali Fazlollahi, a medicine undergraduate student, to collaborate with our partners in Tanzania during this summer. This experience has allowed him to gain knowledge, particularly on Trauma Registry. McGill Global Health Programs

Thrilled to present Osler Library! My project explored #Education in the early days of The Neuro ✅Enabled by the #MolinaFoundationScholarship, generous support of Mario Molina, MD & mentorship of Thomas Schlich (Link👇🏼). Pleased to share this award with my colleague Saman Arfaie, MD, CM

Meet our student emcees for the evening: Ali Fazlollahi is a second-year McGill MDCM student and a 2022 McGill Undergraduate Global Health Scholar supported by the Dr. Milan K. Sen Travel Award in Global Health Surgery. Learn more about his project at: mcgill.ca/globalhealth/a…

What an honour to represent Osler Library with my friend & fellow scholar Yoel American Osler Society (AOS) in London 🇬🇧 & feeling incredibly grateful to serve as the inaugural medical student moderator! Big thank you to the organizers, presenters, & medical students for this exceptional event

Today at the MGH Johana, supported by great collaborators, delivered selected skill stations of the CGS TDTR course to SEAD McGill students. It was great to see all attendees learning skills on trauma surgery! To find more on our TDTR course visit: rb.gy/6eym4

Neurosurgical Simulation and AI Learning Centre congratulates Mohamad Bakhaidar Mohamad Bakhaidar and co-authors for their article just published in Oper Neurosurgery entitled: Performance in a Simulated Virtual Reality Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Task: Disc Residual,Rate of Removal, and Efficiency Analyses

Today was the conclusion of our TDTR course, ran by our Tanzanian colleagues on August 16-18, at the Muhimbili Orthopaedic Institute in Dar es Salaam. 10 trained surgeons transferred knowledge & skills to 24 additional learners. Congratulations for this successful initiative!👏

Calling all med students! Join us at MTL-SONO on Sep 30 - Oct 1 at the JGH. Become a standardized patient and earn $100/day plus lunch. Learn bedside ultrasound, meet peers, residents, and staff physicians. Limited spots, so register now: forms.gle/mwv1DGBvMD5eae…

As the complexity of surgery and patient care changes, so do the implications for training. How must we change the ways we assess this “future surgeon,” who is charged with mastering knowledge, technical skill, and soft skills? 🤔 brnw.ch/21wC27t

Great reporting and story on the state of simulation in neurosurgery by Eric Andrew-Gee in The Globe and Mail, featuring pioneering work of Dr. Del Maestro McGill University, with perspective of our own Dr. Kumar Ashish Kumar Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre University of Toronto Neurosurgery theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

Very excited to be awarded the Innovator of the Year Award at the 2023 Congress of Neurological Surgeons. #2023CNS Our innovation involved a sophisticated application of artificial intelligence & has the potential to shape the future of operating rooms. nature.com/articles/s4174…
