One of my favorite times of the week…practicing what we preach on #telemednow with our lab meeting. Lucky to have mentees Emaad Iqbal in NYC, Jordan Bray, DO in St. Louis, Amber O’Connor Abby Shettig, MD in PDX, and Stephanie O'Connor @AldenEWyland in Southern Oregon. #OHSUHernia

Thank you to WSA for the opportunity to present our #OHSUHernia #telemednow experiences at #WSA21. Rurality should not deter surgeons from providing telemedicine-based surgical consultations for hernia repair. Also, congrats Karen on your WSA Presidency!

Proud of my mentee Jordan Bray, DO (#Match2022 applicant) on his North Pacific Surgical Association podium presentation! He reviewed outcomes of audio-only & video-visits at #OHSUHernia. Audio-only #telemednow is an effective strategy in preoperative assessment of patients seeking AWR & hernia repair.

Honored to report our findings North Pacific Surgical Association alongside so many exceptional surgeons and students! Audio-only preoperative assessment has the potential to greatly improve access to care for many

How does audio-only compare to video-based digital care for pre-operative consults? Jordan Bray, DO shares our early #OHSUHernia experience. Patients derive significant benefits & access to care can be improved with audio-only. #telemedicine AmJSurgery americanjournalofsurgery.com/article/S0002-…

Thankful that AAS Foundation & Society of University Surgeons (SUS) provided us the opportunity to stay “on-brand” with a virtual presentation at #ASC2022. Jordan Bray, DO reviewed telemedicine-based consultations at our hernia center. Hope to be in person with our academic friends in the future. #OHSUHernia

One year ago -> today This past year’s journey makes this so, so sweet! Beyond excited to learn my new home Friday! #Match2022

Thrilled to announce I matched General Surgery at Garden City Hospital! Excited to begin the next phase of this journey in Detroit! It was an unexpected, bumpy road, but couldn’t be happier to find my home in my dream career as a surgeon!

Common assumption related to telemedicine are that patients in rural setting will not derive benefits or successfully use technology for medical services. A review of our experience at #OHSUHernia. Proud of Jordan Bray, DO & team. journals.lww.com/journalacs/Abs… Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS) @OHSUsurgery
