Sam Spellicy, MD, PhD

Extremely honored for the chance to share some of my story and artistic expressions with the larger neurosurgery community! Residency has only provided me more inspiration, and I can't wait to start new artistic and innovative projects soon!

Have I been listening to the Spice Girls more in the OR lately? -Yes. Is anyone mad about it? -Absolutely not haha. Happy upcoming International Women's day!

Most enjoyable parts of academic medicine is seeing your mentees take on mentorship roles.Great seeing Dr. Kelly Wackerle, @DukeSpine fellow impart her surgical knowledge to Dr. Tara Dalton @taraedalton1 (left), Dr. Sam Spellicy @SamSpellicy (right) junior residents

Tomorrow the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology will host “The Things We’ll Never Know: A Science Fair of Canceled Grants”. Scientists will be sharing their story and discuss their now-canceled research grants. This event is open to the public and to the press.

3 separate attendings bought me lunch last week, the OR nurses saved me cake and cookies after a case, and we had leftover cold pizza in the workroom for breakfast this morning. Feeling like a perpetual grad student but not even made about it 😂. Sometimes little things like…

Hard to top free ice cream between cases. Had fun showing one of our current Sub-Is, Sera, some perks of @Dukeneurosurg!
