Why did you choose to train at Mayo Clinic? Mayo Clinic offers excellent patient care and cutting-edge research opportunities, and I am lucky to have the chance to expand my training here. I believe that Mayo Clinic will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience to work with world-class neurosurgeons and to learn from masters in the field. This will give me the fund of knowledge and the skill set essential for my neurosurgical academic career.

Why did you choose to train at Mayo Clinic? Upon graduating from residency in Europe, I decided to further enhance my clinical and surgical expertise. Mayo Clinic was my top choice due to its patient centered care philosophy and the extensive variety of neurosurgical cases, managed by world class experts. The collaborative environment with emphasis on educational growth inspires everyone to strive for their best. I am privileged to have been chosen for this amazing fellowship opportunity.
