UAMS Neurosurgery

🙏 A heartfelt thank you to Dr. George Ibrahim for his remarkable presentation at Arkansas Children's Hospital. 🌟🧠

Dr. Ibrahim's extensive expertise in neurosurgery, coupled with his dedication to pediatric care, has made a significant impact on the field. We are immensely grateful for his valuable insights and the knowledge he shared about deep brain stimulation for epilepsy, movement disorders, and neurodevelopmental conditions. 💡🌍

Dr. Ibrahim's accomplishments:
- Graduated from the University of Calgary Cu***ng School of Medicine
- Completed residency training at the University of Toronto
- PhD on brain connectivity in children with epilepsy
- Fellowship in pediatric neurosurgery at Niklaus Children's Hospital/ University of Miami
- Abe Bresver Chair in Functional Neurosurgery at SickKids in Toronto
- Associate Professor at the University of Toronto
- Senior Scientist in the Program in Neuroscience and Mental Health at the SickKids Research Institute
- Recipient of numerous awards, including Canada's Top 40 Under 40 and the Governor General of Canada's Gold Medal

Dr. Ibrahim's dedication to improving the lives of children, as showcased by their early success with deep brain stimulation, is truly inspiring. The world-first test they conducted on a young girl with autism, as documented in the news article, demonstrates the immense potential of their work. 👏🌟

We extend our deepest gratitude to Dr. Ibrahim for his contributions to the field of neurosurgery and for sharing his invaluable knowledge at Arkansas Children's Hospital. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of countless children. 🙌🌟
