What ancient wisdom helped shape modern brain surgery techniques? How has India's medical heritage influenced today's global neurosurgical practices? By weaving historical insight with clinical advances, this presentation offers a glimpse into how early medical breakthroughs in India by Susruta, the "Father of Surgery," continue to inspire future discovery.This lecture, presented by Varindera Paul Singh, Visiting Pediatric Neurosurgeon and immediate past President of the Indian Society of Pediatric Neurosurgery, explores the remarkable journey of neurosurgery in India, tracing its roots from the pioneering surgical techniques of Susruta in ancient times to the cutting-edge innovations of today's practitioners. Bridging millennia of medical progress, the talk highlights key milestones, transformative figures, and the enduring legacy of Indian contributions to brain science and surgery.Registration required for attendance.UCF College of Medicine August 12, Noon - 1:00 p.m. COM (Room TBA)Free lunch provided.
