After training in Boston and Richmond hospitals, Dr. Franklin Epstein has practiced neurosurgery for nearly 30 years. Dr. Franklin Epstein currently leads the department of surgery at Audie L. Murphy Memorial Hospital in San Antonio, Texas. He belongs to several professional societies, such as the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS). The AANS offers several opportunities for members to improve their knowledge of emerging developments.
For example, the AANS has produced around 200 videos, available on YouTube, on various topics, including offerings from the Neurosurgery Research and Education Foundation, which was created by the AANS in 1980. The foundation's YouTube presence consists of some 80 instructional videos, with a new one added every week.
Another web-based resource is the Rhoton Collection of educational materials, created by a well-known teacher. It features an extensive array of two- and three-dimensional neurological anatomy illustrations and video lectures, all available for free use by AANS members.
The AANS also makes several mobile apps, such as the Journal of Neurosurgery. Users can search the journal for relevant articles and receive alerts for new material. The Grand Rounds app enables members to view operations on videos that emphasize reducing surgical complications and enhancing patients' outcomes.
