One of my favorite sessions from our colloquium: Dr. James Goff (vascular surgeon and CMO of VISN6) talking about servant-leadership. Always so heartening to hear attending surgeons discuss EI and the importance of self reflection. #crqs #patientsafety #quality

Awesome and important work on racial disparities going on across town (run by some pretty cool people)!

110 years ago today, the remarkable life of Jack Kent Cooke began. On this day, we celebrate him and his extraordinary legacy that has transformed thousands of lives that have been impacted by his generosity. #JKCF

It is SO COOL that I get to be part of the VA Boston HC contingent at the VA Innovation Spark-Seed-Spread Innovation Bootcamp in #DC this week! Excited to keep developing our project with Dr Marco Zenati

Working on some cool stuff with Dr Marco Zenati and the MGH MD PnP lab to try and fix this!

Great piece about the incredible work and people who help care for the patients we share Boston Medical Center. Esp loved learning more about the namesake of the Barbara McInnis House.

Dr. Manon Loonis (champion of alpine cheeses and one of my favorite names to see at the end of a consult page) of Boston Med Center EM gave a great chief talk about building community in the hospital. We at BMC Surgery love working with you - a testament to the values you discussed today!

Exited to listen to this talk at BostonSurgicalSociety with Geeta Lal about Surgical Ergonomics ! A huge thank you WomenSurgeons Andrea Merrill, MD FACS for having me and Brenda Lin, MD as your guests! Bonus: Dr. Favuzza beaming about the stellar 100% match rate at BMC Surgery

Not only did we have a great time at the BostonSurgicalSociety meeting, but we also got this bonus BMC Surgery and Lahey Surgery mini reunion (shoutout to VA Boston HC and Boston Children's for making this possible)

3/5 of my lovely OG co-intern class presented BMC Surgery grand rounds today to wrap up their academic development time. So proud of these superstars who have been the best class and support system since day 1 ❤️ Brendin Beaulieu-Jones MD MBA Brenda Lin, MD Gordana Rasic, MD MS

Very grateful to Association of VA Surgeons (AVAS) for this absolutely awesome opportunity to learn more about the great work coming out of the VA, and to get to hang out with our VA Boston HC Chief of Surgery and VA legend Kamal Itani

My parents named me after a particularly helpful local they met when they immigrated to Kansas City from Taiwan in hopes that I would one day be helpful to others. This was a delightful read that brings up issues with representation that are still very relevant today.

A big step in the right direction - the FDA will move toward screening for actual risk factors instead of banning gay men from donating blood. #medtwitter

Announcing: $16.5 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to address unsheltered homelessness and support the City of Boston's housing-centered approach to intersecting crises in the area known as "Mass and Cass." boston.gov/news/mayor-mic…

Struggled to solve this, can’t even imagine what it was like to construct. Kudos to Sid Sivakumar (MD/PhD student at Test Account!)

Tomorrow! TUESDAY JUNE 20, come join BMC Surgery Advancing Cultural Competency & Equity in Surgical Specialties (ACCESS) for a city-wide Boston Surgery pride event! We’ll be heading to Cathedral Station at 6:30 pm - DM us with questions and SPREAD THE WORD!

Kicked off the new year with a lamb roast with the BMC Surgery resident crew, featuring guest appearances by recent grads and our friends from ortho+EM. Thanks to everyone who came by throughout the day!

Great new references from my mentors to welcome me back to clinicals after my research year! Thanks to Jennifer Tseng (IG: @tsengjennifermd) and BMC Surgery for Chassin’s and to Dr. James McPhee for tracking down this awesome out of print atlas to get me ready for the next big phase of my training.

All rise for the brides!
