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

AI will eventually excel in mental health, but it may not be in therapy; instead, it may be in interpreting data that we currently underutilize in care, such as digital phenotyping. Led by Matt Flathers on our team, we used mindLAMP smartphone data w/ LLMs mentalhealth.bmj.com/content…

In our latest publication @KatherineHack15 @JohnTorousMD our findings suggest that with modest training, older adults can engage with digital tools like mindLAMP, helping to bridge the digital divide in mental health care that exist within this population. #digitaltools #olderadults 🔗sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

In our official publication in the Journal of Affective Disorders, we show that hybrid care (clinician mindLAMP digital navigator) led to greater reductions in depression & anxiety than primary care alone. @JohnTorousMD @alexdhima #digitalclinic 🔗sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

In our new paper, we compared how people referred from primary care with depression/anxiety improved with short-term (8 weeks) hybrid care (therapy sessions mindLAMP app use between sessions supported by a Digital Navigator) vs treatment in primary care: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
