Dad calls every day to wish me luck on “Leap 2”. Don’t have the heart to correct him again and I honestly just love the encouragement

A tale of two lightings Had a blast presenting at UAB’s ENRICH week, highlighting work in curriculum development. Got to talk about passion projects in robotic surgical training and medical device R&D. Grateful to have Abigail Cooley helping me hold down the fort as always

4th year is definitely the best year my kitchen has never seen so much use

Has been a great week at #ACSCC2022. For anyone who didn't get a chance to learn a little surgical history from Abigail Cooley and myself, check it out under History of Surgery ePosters! cattendee.abstractsonline.com/meeting/10469/…

We are honored to announce Jess Fazendin has been selected as Visiting Professor from UAB to UTSW Surgery ! Read the story here: bit.ly/3TtkcKb

Anything is possible with a drywall saw and a flathead screwdriver Abigail Cooley

People either knew what we were immediately or we had to explain our costume and unlock a very deep childhood memory. Nothing in-between.

Lucky beyond words to join the great folks at Michigan CT Surgery Residency and to have Abigail Cooley just down the road at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. Go Blue! Gorav Ailawadi @M_S_Sow

Waking up on Monday realizing it’s still real

Beyond thrilled to announce that I will be heading to DR residency with UCSF Radiology Residents after my intern year with the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Transitional Year Program! Can't wait to train at both of these amazing institutions. #MatchDay2023 UCSF Imaging

I know the months between match and residency are supposed to be the best of your life but with no money, no family assistance, and no job that wants you because you’d have to leave as soon as you’re trained is extremely disappointing. How do people cover these moving costs?

Had the pleasure of presenting a robotic MV repair after failed TEER at AATS Mitral Conclave. Hard to believe it’s almost 4 years since I cold-emailed Panos N. Vardas and asked if he could help me become a cardiac surgeon. Can’t overstate the importance of mentorship!
