One of my
clinical passions is the care of patients suffering with cancer
affecting the brain or spine.
Since I began my career at Beaumont twelve years ago, I have
progressively and consistently built our neurosurgical oncology
program. When I first
began, Neuroscience Tumor Board was held once a month.
Then I facilitated increasing our meetings to twice a month.
Approximately five or six years ago, in collaboration with my
colleagues, we increased the frequency of our Neuroscience
Multidisciplinary Tumor Board Meetings to weekly.
I am always there, in the middle of the second row, helping
guide the discussion of these complex cases along with my colleagues.
This is an important conference for patient care, but also important
for education. This
conference is a way for faculty to learn from each other and a great
way for us to educate our residents, fellows, and medical students.
