This is so great to see! Thanks to all involved for their advocacy! From a trainee perspective, does anyone know if taking the now recommended 6 weeks without using vacation would mean having to delay graduation? (ABS still has 4 weeks listed on their trainee leave policy)

SERFers at #ASE2024 !

Cheers to a successful 2024 SERF forum 🍷 So impressed by all my colleagues and future leaders in surgical education! Now a moment for the blazer ♥️💖 Association for Surgical Education #ASE2024 #SEW2024

PSA: don’t ask me how I know but do not use Aptos font on your PowerPoint presentations. Some computers can’t process it apparently & it’ll mess up your formatting 😭😭😭 (even if it looked perfect when you uploaded it and ran through it in the presenter room)

Absolutely phenomenal work from Joy Obayemi, MD presenting on a laparoscopic training curriculum for surgeons in Nigeria from the ALL-SAFE group Michigan Surgery #SEW2024 #ASE2024

We have a double dose of cuteness for you all this morning welcoming two of our newest Northwestern Surgery members Malakai (L) and Kilian (R) born just one day apart! Strong work from PGY-3 Raheem Bell, M.D. (& wife Arielle) and PGY-5 Kate Ott, MD (& wife Kathryn). 💜💜

NPO after midnight is just convenience for the healthcare workers & the OR, not what is necessary for the patient to have safe surgery (in most cases)

Join us Thursday 9-10 am for Department of Surgery Research Toolkit Lecture. Presenter will be K Brooke Golisch, MD MS!

Such a striking stat: the most common number of children that an American or British woman now has by her mid-30s is zero.

I’ve received 4 major media requests in the 2h since #KateMiddleton announced her #cancer diagnosis. I have declined them all. She has not revealed what type or stage of cancer she has, & any dr, including oncologists such as myself, appearing on the news would be speculating. /1

Honored to have had the opportunity to travel down to road to present our work at UChicago Surgery’s research symposium today! Thanks Ryan Merkow, MD, MS for your mentorship!

Thank you so much to Society of Black Academic Surgeons for the opportunity to talk about social media in surgery and the experience of being online as trainee from an underrepresented group in surgery. Thanks also to my co-panelists for their insight! K Brooke Golisch, MD MS Andre Campbell, MD, FACS, FACP, FCCM, MAMSE, FCCOS

Got a stage 1 pressure ulcer from Dune 2. There should for sure be a time limit on movies.

Another excellent trauma focused journal club hosted by our fearless leader Leah Tatebe ! Northwestern Surgery

i am speechless.

Thanks to Society of Black Academic Surgeons for inviting me to be a part of this panel! Tune in this weekend! 😎

Freedom of speech, except, no not like that on TikTok makes zero sense to me.

Cannot express how honored I am to be a part of this panel. Thanks Society of Black Academic Surgeons for the opportunity and hope to see you all Sunday night 7 PM EST!

Today we honor Dr. William West, who died by suicide.

His family writes, “We hope systemic changes can be made to support aspiring medical professionals better. This is critical. We don’t want any other families to experience tragedies like this.”
