We are starting a spine fellowship at @ouhealth. Open for candidates for next year and following years. Program exposure to robotics, deformity, MISS, revision, academic projects. Growing city, dynamic dept, D1 sports. If interested or know someone: [email protected]
Great spine symposium today at @OUHealth, deftly led by Dr. John Burke and team. Great spine learning today in okc. @OU_Neurosurgery
Our spine program quite excited for this and looking forward to having Laurence Rhines as a keynote speaker. Exceptional leadership and effort from Dr John Burke, @OU_Neurosurgery spine faculty and symposium director/leader! @OUHealth @OUbabybrainMD
The Second Annual OU Health Spine Symposium is back! 🧠 Join us for expert insights, including keynote speaker Dr. Laurence Rhines. Free registration. 🔗 to sign up: ouhealth.com/events-calenda…
Great to work with Chief Resident, Lance Villeneuve a last time this week in the OR. Soon off to Chicago and Rush Medical Center for Spine Fellowship. Sure he will represent @OU_Neurosurgery (and spine) well!

Great mechanism and opportunity to explore impact of aging on brain and spine.

This is such strong work from our #okc mayor and a good reminder!
I mean, we spent a half hour getting this picture right, but now I’m bothered by the pinkie angle
Great work! Checkout the software…
This showed up on our lab wall post board before PubMed. Spinal cord compression can be reproducibly evaluated and standardized. Our paper has open source code that is easy to use! Hopefully in clinic someday! @OU_Neurosurgery @CNS_Update
👏🏻Thank you to @UofOklahoma @OU_Neurosurgery for the tremendous visiting professor honor and inviting me to give ground rounds today to share my work on Minimally Invasive Scoliosis Surgery It was great to see old friends, including @graffeo, and see the enthusiasm for spine…

Today was our last Neuroscience Seminar of the Spring semester. Michael Van Der Veldt presented his facinating research on developing an AI model to help other researchers identify patterns in their findings. @OUNeuroscience @zacharyasmithmd @MyOnlyNeuron @Jonathan_D_Wren
Great to be at the Neurosurgical Society of America; great venue in Punta Mita, Mexico, great talks including current challenges to our field, and nice see great friends and colleagues; @IsaacYangMD, #Neurosurgery
Pulling hard for this message from @OUbabybrainMD to age quite well. Fingers crossed. #okc @OU_Neurosurgery @Neurosurgery_IU
#MiteshShah, chair of @Neurosurgery_IU, and I made a bet on the NBA championship. If the Pacers win, I will wear @Pacers jersey for one week straight and buy dinner at the world-famous @stelmo in Indy. If the Thunder win, he will wear @okcthunder jersey for a week. Go Thunder!
In our new study just out in NeuroImage (doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…)we benchmark fUS against LSCI & show it captures age-related declines in neurovascular coupling and vascular density with superior resolution. Grateful to the whole team! @iconeus @OU_Neurosurgery @OUNeuroscience
It has been an incredible honor and pleasure to deliver the distinguished alumni professor lecture @UCLA neurosurgery for their resident research conference. It was nice coming to campus and seeing how things have changed!! Thank you to Drs Linda Liau, Marvin Bergsneider, Dan Lu,…
Way to go @SherwinTavakol, resident in Neurosurgery at @OU_Neurosurgery!! And congrats to @negri_sharon95 and mentor @StefanoT_PhD. @OUNeuroscience!! #okc
Big congratulations to Madison Milan, Dr. @negri_sharon95 , and Dr. @SherwinTavakol for their excellent presentations and recognition at #BrainPET25 in Seoul, organized by @ISCBFM. Honored to support their journey in neurovascular science! 🧠Team @OU_Neurosurgery @OUNeuroscience
I saw these “rules” posted in our residents’ workroom this morning. I am proud of our @OU_Neurosurgery residency program’s culture and priorities!
Nice @OU_Neurosurgery.
@OU_Neurosurgery at the @SNS_Neurosurg where important discussions about neurosurgical training and leadership happen! @OUAVMdoc as our program director; #EmilyTally as our program coordinator; and @OUskullbaseMD as our Dean - 1 of only 6 neurosurgeons to hold this role.
Great work by great colleagues at @OU_Neurosurgery and also from plastic surgery!
Amazing turnout for our @OU_Neurosurgery Inaugural Craniosynostosis Day @sciencemuseumok . Outstanding presentations from our craniofacial surgeons @NicholasSader #IraBowen #ChristianElAmm and their patients and patients’ families. Appreciate the sponsorship and support from KLS.
A neuroscience grad program **inside** a neurosurgery department. We are four years in. A spring full of great seminars and passed qualifying exams just finished. Excited for our program’s next steps! @OU_Neurosurgery @OUskullbaseMD @JulieMHumphrey
This is so well done in downtown #okc. @ScissortailPark
