I was a recipient of the ASCRS_1 International Fellowship Grant this year. I would like to thank the Research Foundation #ASCRS22 for helping me continue Dr. Herand Abcarian’s years long work on cryptoglandular perianal fistulas at UIC Colorectal Surgery and Dr. Gerald Gantt, Jr. MD for his mentorship








Had a great time speaking on a panel with Drs. Ghani, Marvi Tariq & Muhammad Huzaifa Zafar, and connecting with students/ alumni from Aga Khan University to discuss research opportunities and mentorship! via Surgery Interest Group



Thankful to Dr. Anders Mellgren and Dr. Vivek Chaudhry for representing our division UIC Colorectal Surgery at #ESCP2022 in Dublin. Our work sought to characterise young patients with diverticulitis who underwent surgical management.


A great start to my day ! Just witnessed a powerful conversation on allyship in surgery at #ACSCC22 Moderated by Tania K. Arora, MD, FACS and @GyasiSamilia, the panelists discussed the way forward in creating a safe space for surgery residents, especially those from minority backgrounds


Grateful to have gotten the opportunity to present our work at this year’s #ACSCC2022 with support from my mentors at UIC Colorectal Surgery especially Gerald Gantt, Jr. MD Through institutional and NSQIP data, we showed that younger pts requiring surgery for diverticulitis possess unique characteristics.



Celebrated a sweet birthday this year away from home but with my UConn General Surgery Residency family. The awesome illustration you see here was by an amazing MS3 on our team !
