Biography

Samuel Craft, MD grew up in Hamden, CT. He graduated from Middlebury College with a BA in biochemistry. He obtained his MD from the Yale School of Medicine, where he conducted clinical research in spine outcomes with particular emphases on associations between safety-net hospital status and psychiatric comorbidities and adverse outcomes in adults undergoing various spinal surgeries. He was drawn to neurosurgery by the enthusiasm and tenacity with which the neurosurgeons he met on his clinical rotations approached their work, as well as the complex physiology and management of neurosurgical disease processes. As a medical student, he also volunteered at Yale’s student-run free clinic, providing medical care to uninsured members of the New Haven community, and participated in intramural softball, soccer, and frisbee. He chose Yale Neurosurgery for its robust clinical and research opportunities and for the warm, friendly, and supportive community.
