I consider myself to be incredibly fortunate to have been able to participate in the SMISS travelling fellowship program. The educational benefit of being exposed to and learn from the top surgeons across the country was invaluable. Additionally, the relationships formed with my co-fellows and the participating faculty have been inspirational and life-lasting. I highly recommend anyone interested in learning different techniques and approaches to minimally invasive spine to apply, no matter what stage of your career. The experience is incredibly rewarding.

The SMISS travelling fellowship was a transformative experience for my practice. I learned so many technical pearls and career lessons from leaders in spine surgery. Most importantly, I made relationships with incredible co-fellows that will last for years to come. I cannot recommend this fellowship more highly.
