“I saved hours on discharge summaries and finally submitted a manuscript on time.” — Consultant Spine Surgeon, 2024
The problem every academic surgeon knows
You have data. You have cases. You have half-written papers that haven’t moved in months.
Between clinic, OR, teaching, and admin, there is no time left for the academic work that actually advances your career. And the AI tools everyone keeps talking about? Nobody has shown you how to use them for your workflow — safely, practically, without hype.
That’s what this training is for.
Who this is for
This training is built specifically for:
- Academic surgeons who want to clear their manuscript backlog and publish faster
- Fellows and residents who need to save 3–5 hours a week on notes, literature, and teaching prep
- Program directors who want their trainees using AI safely and effectively from day one
- Clinician-researchers ready to build small tools for PROMs analysis, patient education, or data pipelines
Most popular: Level 3 — Advanced AI for Surgeons
$199 · 3-hour intensive · Most booked
This is the session that consistently gets the most results for academic surgeons. In a single focused block, you’ll walk away with a working system.
You’ll learn:
- Manuscript acceleration: outlines → full drafts → reviewer responses
- IRB and protocol drafting (ethically, with full audit trails)
- Visual aids for consent and teaching (AI‑assisted diagrams)
- Dashboards for PROMs and radiographic measures — no coding required
You’ll walk away with:
- A personalized AI Integration Plan for your practice
- Manuscript and abstract scaffolds you can reuse immediately
- A set of clinic-specific SOPs for AI use (privacy-aware)
“Best 3 hours I spent this year. Our residents now use AI safely and effectively.” — Program Director

- Mini-project of your choice: PROMs analyzer · PubMed→Excel pipeline · Patient-education bot
- Deploy a lightweight app with Streamlit
Outcome: A working tool you can demo in your clinic or academic unit. No prior coding experience needed.
“I built a small app to analyze PROMs data without any prior coding experience.” — Clinical Fellow
About your instructor
Dr. Bhushan D. Thombre is a neurosurgeon with hands-on experience across spine, cranial, and academic workflows — and someone who has actually built the AI pipelines he teaches.
This isn’t a tech course taught by a tech person. It’s surgical practice taught by a surgeon who spent years figuring out what AI tools actually work in the OR, clinic, and academic environment — and which ones don’t.
You’re not learning generic tech. You’re learning what works for doctors.
