Many conditions treated by surgeons first require primary care screening and referral.

Dr. Sara Schaefer this week in Health Affairs connects primary care shortages to higher rates of emergency surgery for conditions that should be treated electively

Our residents are the heart and soul of our program and we are so thankful for each and every one of them. If you see a resident today, please give them a heartfelt thank you! #ThankaResidentDay UW Department of Surgery UW Medicine

Attention Americans: Paying for healthcare with crowdfunding is not 'normal,' but it has been normalized as a part of our health system. And that's maybe helpful (for some), but also tragic. Mine in The Atlantic KFF Health News theatlantic.com/health/archive…

We need further the dialogue on what financial toxicity means for our ACS patients AND collect patient reported outcomes to better understand the challenges they face. More to come from the AAST Healthcare Economics Committee!

So well-deserved, for the incredible Dr. Selwyn O. Rogers Jr.. I was lucky to train under him as an intern and I continue to be inspired day in and day out. Congrats!!!

Proud to announce the newest members of UW Department of Surgery Harborview Medical Center Surgical Critical Care Fellows class of 2024-25. Amazing accomplished surgeons and future Trauma and Burn leaders.

Huge congrats to Dr. Pooja U Neiman, MD MPA!!! An excellent clinician, extraordinary researcher, and an even better human being. The future of our field is BRIGHT thanks for folks like you! I'm excited to see what's in store...

My good friend and colleague Joseph Sakran is the perfect leader for this role.

Somehow the word has to get out about how many kids are being dropped from Medicaid.

Medicaid/CHIP eligibility levels are generally quite a bit higher for kids than adults, so many of these kids are likely still eligible but getting tangled in red tape.

In pursuit of a safer world, we must confront the reality that 10% of global mortality is attributed to injuries, with 90% of these occurring in low and middle income countries. We are grateful for our global partners commitment to reversing these alarming trends. 🙏🏽🌎
