To be clear you “believe” he did a fellowship? As in not certain, but you think he is a rising star? Sounds like bs.

being busy is better than twiddling your thumbs and triple scrubbing a subdural

Isn't Lenke an orthopedic guy? They take neurosurgery fellows? Is training under a different specialty even allowed by the neurosurgery board?

It's not common but you can do it. Just like endovascular fellowships, neurosurgeons are sometimes training radiologists and neurologists. Eventually all these sub-specialties should separate out of become its own specialty. There should be a separate residency for endovascular, spine, pain... just like neurosurgery, plastics and peripheral vascular, all separated out from general surgery...
