Last day with the best group of co interns I could’ve asked for UTSW Surgery Residents

Just a bunch of USF Health Medicine grads at UTSW Surgery. Nothing better than having my favorite humans from medical school alongside me. And of course we are eternally grateful to our fearless leader Kareem Abdelfattah for making sure we have the best training in the country. 🤟🏼

Those who know Dr. AbdelFattah understand how well-deserved this recognition is. His lasting impact on surgical training has set a new standard for surgical residents. All of us UTSW Surgery Residents are lucky to learn and grow under his leadership. Congratulations Kareem Abdelfattah !!

Yesterday, we were honored to hear from Dr. William Turner, who shared insights & stories about his journey from a Parkland resident to a distinguished general surgeon. His passion for medical education has impacted >450 residents throughout his career. Thank you Dr. Turner!
