We are nothing without our mentors, and we have an obligation to "pay it forward" to future generations. How do you honor your mentors and contribute to the future? We would love to see your strategies in the comments.

Thank you Dr. Welch

Left brain. Right brain. Structure and instinct.

A few weeks ago I returned to the United States Military Academy at West Point to speak with cadets about performance through those two perspectives.

One viewpoint examines creativity, instinct, pattern recognition, and the ability to adapt under pressure. The other focuses on discipline, preparation, and the deliberate architecture of decisions.

Elite performance is never one or the other. It comes from integration. Instinct guided by structure. Creativity supported by discipline.

But visiting West Point is never just about the lecture.

What stays with you is the feeling of the place. And the deep respect you feel for the institution, the traditions, and the generations of leaders who began their journeys there.

The academy sits high above the Hudson River, surrounded by history. As you walk the grounds you are reminded that the youth of America has stood in those same places for more than two centuries, preparing themselves to serve in ways most of us will never be asked to.

What always stands out to me is the seriousness of purpose among the cadets.

They are not preparing for leadership in theory.

They are preparing for moments where clarity, judgment, and character will matter when the stakes are extraordinarily high.

What I wanted to share today is that feeling.

I hope this short video captures a bit of the atmosphere of West Point and the privilege of spending time with the next generation of leaders.

Lets' make 2026 the year you got serious.

Whether you’re pre-med, a medical student, resident, or healthcare professional in any specialty, you’ll see how information becomes diagnosis, how options become decisions, and how teams communicate under pressure. You’ll practice what actually matters: structured thinking, precise presentation, and evidence-based reasoning; so the child who wanted to be a doctor becomes the clinician you can be.

When a med school or medical organization sees NeuroRounds in your CV, they know that it means you mean business. Let's make 2026 the year they see you got serious.

Monday's snowfall brought challenges of course, but you've got to admit that nature knows how to put on a show. Bree and I were on the trail near the house on Monday morning.

One can only imagine how many potential doctors were lost to the disease of prejudice.

Clarence Sumner Greene was born on December 26, 1901 in Washington, D.C. After graduating from Dunbar High School in 1920, he moved to live with his aunt. He was strongly influenced towards medicine during that time by his uncle and great uncle whom were both physicians and leading medical figures.....

It's President's Day 2026.

Seems like a good time to remember a President and one of his most revealing quotes.
