Heading home from Parker Lecture at SUNY Upstate - amazing history to be walking the halls of Dr Elizabeth Blackwell and down the street from where Dr Mary Edwards Walker became our first female surgeon. I am humbled.

❤️this initiative! The only way for diversity flourish➡️make the path to becoming CTS more equitable. So cool that leaders in our field (Jo Chikwe Shaf Keshavjee Maral Ouzounian) recognized it & set about making it better. 2 paraphrase Marc Moon it won’t improve passively!

Final thoughts:

As Marc Moon mentioned during #AATS2022 , promoting female inclusivity, productivity, & promotion in #CTsurgery will not occur passively. It requires active targeted approaches, especially during adverse times that disproportionately impact #womeninsurgery (5/5)

Honored and proud to have received my #Educator2022 pin from Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine

It’s a privilege to work with such talented #MedStudents from #CCLCM and CWRU School of Medicine

Unbelievable presentation by our fellow Tim Lancaster at the AATS annual mtg. So smoove at answering the discussant's questions that I thought he had been given the questions ahead of time (honestly!). So glad Tim accepted our offer to stay C.S. Mott Children's.

If the word 'burnout' sets your teeth on edge as a physician, I hear you! Got 10min? Take a listen to what's in progress. The goal? Stop having people tell us 'be more resilient' & find real data-driven solutions. #AATS2022 #MedTwitter Arena Labs
