Just 2 1/2 weeks after Tom Frazier, MD, underwent a total knee replacement as the 1st surgical patient in The Orthopaedic & Spine Hospital at UAMS Health, he was seeing patients in clinic. By the 3rd, he was operating at the very hospital he was treated. news.uams.edu/2023/08/11/uam…

No surprise that these UMN Surgery Chiefs crushed it on Intuitive robotic colorectal training! Had a blast working with y’all (as we say in UAMS Department of Surgery). Good luck with match/fellowships/job search!
