Her strong commitment to education and training has led her to mentor numerous undergraduates, medical students, neurosurgical residents, and visiting neurosurgeons from around the world, several of whom are themselves developing academic careers. She is often invited to lecture internationally, particularly throughout Taiwan and China. In 2013, Dr. Huang was elected to the elite Society of Neurological Surgeons, in recognition of her leadership role as an educator within academic neurosurgery. In addition to her service on numerous institutional committees including the Professorial Promotions Committee, Dr. Huang has served on committees of several national neurosurgical organizations, including the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, Neurosurgical Society of America, Society of Neurological Surgeons, and Joint Cerebrovascular Section of the AANS/CNS.
