Friends & Colleagues: The end of the year is a time for reflection. It's a time to consider what we did right and what we can do better, both for us and for those around us. As many know, I have a deep passion for expanding access to neurosurgical training and education for students, especially those from underserved regions. Therefore, I'm beyond thrilled to announce I have partnered with the Neurosurgery Research and Education Foundation (NREF) to launch a fund specifically aimed to provide resources to international students and trainees wishing to pursue educational, training and research opportunities in the U.S. I hope you'll join me and help in this campaign. No gift is too small or too big. Individuals and organizations can contribute. I will personally acknowledge and thank every supporter of this fund. Please join me in this initiative and let's do even greater things in 2025. The impact we can together have on the next generation of neurosurgeons, and hence patients, from around the world will be profound!
