Medical student education is very important! Early exposure to the different subspecialties helps students choose the right path for them. Here is one of our APD Dr. Schunemann presenting on what a career in neurosurgery looks like to our Ohio State 1st year medical students

Check out this recent pub . Grip strength is super easy and cheap, and does a good job of predicting discharge to home, length of stay, and need for ICU after adult deformity correction. Grip was actually superior to frailty index on discharge to home

Modified Five-item Frailty Index (mFI-5) versus Grip Strength as predictors of length of stay, discharge to home, and early surgical complications in patients undergoing long segment fusion

In this paper, the authors aim to compare the ability of grip strength and the Modified Five-Item Frailty Index (mFI-5) to predict outcomes and compli…
