The Indiana Spine Group, Medical Academic Center, recently hosted a successful Cervical Spine Research Society (CSRS) Emerging Leaders Course! The course was specifically designed for neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons in their first five years of practice, as well as neurosurgeons in their last year of residency, to meet and network with colleagues and leaders in the spine industry.
The Emerging Leaders Course promotes CSRS’s mission of developing young members by addressing various challenges faced by early-career spine surgeons. This course offered a forum for discussion and networking with prominent CSRS faculty. Lab opportunities were provided to practice hands-on advanced techniques on cadaveric specimens, working one-on-one alongside veteran cervical spine experts.
The course covered the latest advances and techniques of the cervical spine and provided useful and informative lectures focusing on topics relevant to young surgeon leaders in and out of the operating room. The course was hosted by Michael Daubs, MD, Philip Louie, MD, and our very own Michael McCarthy, MD, MPH.
