Watch an interview with Donald M. O'Rourke, MD, a neurosurgeon at Penn Medicine.
"The main thing that excites me is I get to do new things. I get exposed to new technology, I can develop new technology, I can do new research."
"Most of the patients I see are brain tumor related. I do have a general practice, but my focus academically and clinically has been brain tumor treatment and specifically primary tumors of the brain and to a lesser extent, metastatic tumors to the brain."
"We have all the components here at Penn required for excellent treatment that's state-of-the-art. We have a neurosurgical program with cutting-edge technology. We have a clinical trials program. We have a basic research program. We have really some amazing advances in imaging, which we now apply in the operating room. We have a great collaboration with our anesthesiologists to do awake-speech mapping and motor mapping in the operating room."
"It's just a place where new things are always happening. That's something that really separates us at Penn, the ability to apply cutting-edge neuroscience into neurosurgery as fast as possible."
"I'm Dr. Donald O'Rourke. I'm a Neurosurgeon at Penn Medicine."
