The full interview and some of the secret sauce for creating the #ANSC. Cost and quality will mandate the migration of much neurosurgical elective care into the outpatient setting. #inevitable

Enough is Enough #stopthearmsrace. The exponential growth of pre-residency publications, frequently favoring quantity over quality, HAS to stop. Our automatic calculator ( https://t.co/M9AfZIBj3o) permits rapid calculation. Programs in multiple specialties are already using ARCS.
New @NeurosurgeryCNS: a proposed solution to the publication “arms race” - #ArmsRaceControlScore. ARCS quantifies authorship effort, disincentivizes quantity over quality, and offers meaningful comparison of #ResidencyApplicants. Designed by @bowersbrainsurg @MichaelKogan20
