Alex Flores, MD

Resident
Baylor College of Medicine Neurosurgery, US

I am a neurosurgery resident at Baylor College of Medicine, graduation 2027. My primary interest is using machine learning to solve daily clinical problems in spine surgery. Further interests include better understanding the natural history of spinal disease processes and outcomes from surgical intervention of these diseases. I hope to practice in an academic setting.
