Lindsey Ross, MD, a Los Angeles-based Cedars-Sinai resident neurosurgeon, has earned a position as a 2016 to 2017 White House Fellow.

Here are five highlights:

 

1. Dr. Ross will work at the HHS, contributing to roundtable discussions with government leaders, including President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

 

2. Former President Lyndon B. Johnson established the White House Fellows Program in 1964, to expose leaders to the inner-workings of the federal government.

 

3. During her Cedars-Sinai neurosurgical residency, Dr. Ross trained in trauma surgery, neurocritical care and neurology subspecialties.

 

4. Dr. Ross said her residency enhanced her communication skills with patients, improved her emotional poise and taught her how to think more critically in stressful situations.

 

5. Dr. Ross begins her time as a White House Fellow this week.

 

"I feel so grateful for this opportunity. I know I will learn a great deal about healthcare, leadership and policymaking next year, which I hope to bring back to Cedars-Sinai and the greater Los Angeles community that we serve," Dr. Ross said.
