    Dr. Higgins completed a dual MD/PhD program at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, appeasing both his interests in medicine and research. While at Mayo, Dr. Higgins spent time in the tumor-focused labs, and eventually completed his PhD thesis on glioblastoma stem cells.

He went on to complete his residency training in neurosurgery at Columbia University’s Neurological Institute of New York. He also completed a brain tumor fellowship at the University of Miami, with an emphasis on minimally invasive open and endoscopic surgical treatments for brain tumors.
