Synopsis
Dr. Khan discusses his experience in spine interventions, and he believes that it has evolved into a subspecialty that now requires its own fellowship. He proposes a curriculum that involves integration of clinical care and learning from physical medicine and rehabilitation, pain management, radiology specialists. Then, Dr. Khan describes how he built his current department Johns Hopkins. This process required advocating for clinic time, negotiating for split time between interventional and diagnostic work, reaching out to referring specialists, and following up with patients.
Throughout the episode, Dr. Majid also shares his perspectives on defining success in clinical and academic medicine, various ablation modalities, and the potential of neuromodulation in oncology.

Bone cement: Serious adverse events, some with fatal outcome, associated with the use of bone cements for vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty and sacroplasty include myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, cerebrovascular accident, pulmonary embolism and cardiac embolism. Although it is rare, some adverse events have been known to occur beyond one year post-operatively. Additional risks exist with the use of bone cement. Please see the IFU for a complete list of potential risks.
