Hi #NeuroTwitter! I'm Hector, an IMG from 🇲🇽 @FacMedicinaUNAM and Research Scholar at the University of Florida. Applying to Neurology this cycle after a few years spent learning from patients, teaching students, and working with incredible mentors. Excited for the #Match2027!
Amazing time at the AANS with amazing mentors!
Another great 1.5 days American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS)! Gave another talk on Advanced Imaging but the best part was seeing colleagues, mentors, friends, mentees!@Dukeneurosurg

Getting texts and calls from medical student mentees that they have matched into #neurosurgery is one of the most amazing feelings ever. For those who didn’t this time around, there’s always a way and a path. Keep your head up.

We have been helping IMGs match in Neurosurgery for the last 16 years in our post doc program @TJUHNeurosurg with a hit rate of 100%!
This recent publication by our superstar post doc @Joannaroy99 shows that :
1-IMGs that match into neurosurgery demonstrate higher publication counts and greater research effort compared to U.S medical graduates
2-The proportion of high-effort publications relative to total publication output did not differ among both groups
