Had an amazing time at the Northwestern @NMskullbase Skull Base Course—truly an outstanding experience.
Northwestern is where my career began nearly 20 years ago, so it was especially meaningful to return and participate as faculty in such a fantastic course. Coming back to where it all started brings things full circle in the best way.
A big thanks to Jim Chandler for the kind invitation and for directing such a high-quality program.
It was also great catching up with friends and colleagues, and especially rewarding to see two of my former medical student mentees @phabinly @gurk_kohli now thriving in their neurosurgery residencies. Moments like these remind me why we do what we do.

The final dissection of Day 2 is underway. We’ll see everyone tomorrow for the third and final day of training.
Guest speaker Daniel Prevedello, MD, presents on the far lateral transcondylar approach ahead of participants returning to the lab for hands on dissection.
It’s time for Module 4 of this three-day hands-on training, focusing on transpetrosal and far lateral approaches. To kick off the session, Michael Walsh, MD (@mtwalshmd), will review the 3D anatomy.
It’s time for the second dissection of the day as participants return to the lab for continued hands on learning.
Guest speaker Timothy Smith, MD, PhD, will join Northwestern Medicine’s Kevin Zhan, MD, for a joint presentation on the lateral subtemporal approach to the middle cranial fossa with anterior petrosectomy, ahead of the day’s second dissection.
After learning about transcranial suprasellar approaches, including the orbitozygomatic approach, from James Liu, MD (@SkullBaseMD), participants are heading to the lab for hands on dissection.
James Liu, MD (@SkullBaseMD), will present on transcranial suprasellar approaches, including the orbitozygomatic approach, ahead of the first dissection of the day.
