How will we differentiate #neurosurgery #residencyapplicants in this new Step 1 pass/fail era?
I'm delighted to present our multi-center pilot study of a novel Milestones-style evaluation of sub-intern performance in @TheJNS

I haven't been on twitter in a long time but I've been informed of an imposter account - @StephenBowdenMD. This is not me! I will be reporting it

This year, OB-GYN applicants used a new system - ResidencyCAS - to apply to residency programs.
ACOG just released preliminary application data - and a couple of figures caught my eye.

Excited and very thankful to @NeurosurgeryCNS & the @CNS_Update for recognizing our study on the prognostic value of steroids in neurologically impaired patients with brain mets with the Paper of the Year: Tumor award. I look forward to sharing this work at the meeting next week

Thank you @MdOlabisi !
(And thank you to our Chief Vibes Resident @j_leigh_smith )
There is something about this time of the year in #medicine..maybe it’s the smell of incoming residents/ the end of an era/life long PGY2/Chief bonds/ the nostalgia of seeing folks you helped train graduate. Congrats @stephen_bowden @dominicsiler @MinerRoss @OHSUBrain

I keep giving bad news, but the patient and family are so grateful.
What matters is not the content we deliver, but the way we deliver it.
A timely coda to that @NEJM piece… – at Portland, OR

A key to steady progress is prioritizing goals over moods.
Whether you aim to get in shape, learn the guitar, or write a book, the question is not whether you feel like it today. It's who you want to become tomorrow.
Enthusiasm fluctuates. Consistent action accumulates.
I hope this article gets more attention. Wrestles beautifully with one of the greatest and most immediately relevant tensions in training (or medicine at large). Must read! nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…
One of the scariest—among many scary—things happening in healthcare (and happening to a competitor system here in Portland).
Proud to keep patients at the center of our mission in academic medicine. I pray we stay immune to profit mongering, patient abandoning private equity. – at Beaverton, OR
anesthesiologynews.com/Comme… Read this if you want to know how a short-sighted, profit-based decision (hospital selling out anesthesia services to private equity) can absolutely tank hospital culture, quality of life, and patient care. This is happening everywhere.

Humility isn't a sign of low self-esteem. It's a mark of high self-awareness.
The goal isn't to deny your strengths. It's to see your strengths & shortcomings accurately. The first rule of improvement: recognize room for improvement.
Narcissism feeds ego. Humility fuels growth.
Are you or is someone you know a "black cloud"? Or have you ever wondered if co-residents have, on average, different experiences, because it often seems like they do...
Proud to present the latest paper from my group @OHSUBrain in @NeurosurgeryCNS
journals.lww.com/neurosurger…
Notably, we made a distinct effort to part ways with the ubiquitous "colored" cloud terminology and encourage others to do the same. In so doing, we hope to keep pace in redefining archaic but potentially discriminatory terminology alongisde an increasingly diverse workforce.
As always, many, many thanks to the tireless work of my collaborators, most distinctly @HTanNeuro who should be first on your rank list this year, as well as @dominicsiler, @brannan_oneill, @maryamshahin, @adelinefecker, @SeungguJudeHan, @jayeldubb, and @nateselden

Just a reminder to anyone interested in a neurosurgical oncology fellowship to tune in tonight and learn about great fellowship programs including @MSKNeurosurgery and @MSKCCSpine. Great opportunities. #Neurosurgery #Oncology #Fellowship
