This spring, Dr. Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa—known to many as Dr. Q—was honored to deliver the 2025 Commencement Address at Yale School of Medicine.
With humility, warmth, and candor, Dr. Q shared reflections from his journey—from migrant farmworker to neurosurgeon and researcher—and the lessons learned along the way. His message to the graduating class centered on resilience, purpose, and service to others, reminding future physicians that the work ahead is not just a career, but a calling.
It was a powerful moment not just for those in attendance, but for everyone connected to the mission:BRAIN community, where Dr. Q’s commitment to global neurosurgical access continues to inspire.
