About
Prior to Penn Medicine, I was chief of spine neurosurgery at Massachusetts General Hospital and associate professor of neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School, where I also served as director of spine oncology and spinal deformity surgery and founder of the Mass General Brigham Neurosurgery Complex Spine Fellowship training program. In 2022, I was honored as the inaugural Kingdon-Saylor Family Endowed Chair in Neurosurgery for exemplary contributions to Massachusetts General Hospital. I also earned an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
In addition to performing complex spine surgery, I have leadership positions with many spine organizations. I am currently co-chair of the Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine Editorial Board and am often invited to lecture internationally at meetings and universities. I have directed surgeon education courses for the North American Spine Society, Congress of Neurological Surgeons, AO Spine, American Association of Neurological Surgeons, and the AANS/CNS Division of Spine and Peripheral Nerves. I currently serve on the Executive and Scientific Planning Committees for the AANS/CNS Spine Section and am the 2025 Scientific Program Co-Chair for the upcoming North American Spine Society Annual Meeting.
John Shin
I am a neurosurgeon specializing in spinal reconstruction surgery for scoliosis deformities and spinal tumors such as chordoma, sarcoma, schwannoma, meningioma, and metastatic cancer. I have a particular interest in cervical kyphosis and complex cervical spine surgery. Throughout my career, I have advocated for patient-centered multidisciplinary clinical collaborations. I am passionate about providing personalized and empathic surgical spine care.Prior to Penn Medicine, I was chief of spine neurosurgery at Massachusetts General Hospital and associate professor of neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School, where I also served as director of spine oncology and spinal deformity surgery and founder of the Mass General Brigham Neurosurgery Complex Spine Fellowship training program.
