.Ali Salim, MD Karan Chhabra, MD MSc and Sarabeth Spitzer We put this together after the ACS hosted a Trauma Policy session last year — hope it spurs internal discussions about how policy and its implementation can be used to further improve trauma care

So great catching up with Brigham and Women’s Department of Surgery friends and mentors @asmbs24! Certainly a highlight of the conference!


Anecdotally we've been hearing about the decline in bariatric surgery as patients opt for GLP-1 treatments But what do the data show? Ateev Mehrotra and I decided to answer this question in a new JAMA Network Open study jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Super proud of our NYU Langone Health research fellow Avery Brown who capped off his fantastic year with the first talk at the ASMBS top papers session on comparative effectiveness of bariatric surgery and GLP1RAs. Loved the NYU Langone Surgery NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue turnout!


Equally proud of our NYU Grossman School of Medicine medical student Elizabeth Li who presented in the same #asmbs2025 Top Papers session - her findings on the (disappointing) safety of DOACs after bariatric surgery have already changed my practice!



Great press on this top paper from my collegues and friends from NYU asmbs.org/resources/glp-… ASMBS IFSO IFSO North America Chapter New York University NYU Langone Surgery
