“Reflection is hard — but learning needs to be hard.” Powerful point from @MartinaStippler, first woman president of @CNS_Update, during her Presidential Address at #2026JCNS. MedEd requires self-assessment, analysis, and the willingness to keep growing. #MedEd #2026CNS

Dr. Lawrence Lenke’s predictions for the future: AI, predictive analytics and robotics will transform spinal deformity surgery in the next decade, and surgeons should embrace these innovations as tools that will reduce subjectivity and may improve patient outcomes. #SpineSurgery
Wonderful to have the world-renowned Dr. Lawrence Lenke join us at our recent #GrandRounds! Dr. Lenke shared his perspective on the past, present and future of spinal deformity surgery, then led a spine lab for our residents at the Center for the Future of Surgery. #SpineSurgery
