Coming back from #sbasumich2023 has definitely lit a fire in me! Trying to share as much of these gems as possible. Constantly heard “There’s room for everyone.” We CAN ALL be here! And we NEED to ALL be here!

Placed (pended) my first ever order today! Vaseline for a little baby’s diaper rash. It seems so small, but I was told my first should be remembered! 3rd year has been tough, but celebrating the many “firsts” definitely helps! 🥹

This is a big deal! African American's make up ~2% of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons. Two ABCTS members are on the same three star🌟🌟🌟 staff Ochsner Health!

I attended the Extraordinary Women in CT Surgery talk this morning and was truly inspired and excited about the remarkable legacy I have the privilege to follow. Congratulations to all the amazing women—thank you for your incredible contributions! Shanda Blackmon, MD #STS2024

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons This is the future of 🫀🫁 surgery! Isn’t it bright?🤩 I can’t wait! #STS2024 WomenInThoracicSurg Thank U Shanda Blackmon, MD for being the incredible mentor you are!

The ABCTS is the real deal. Great job by Dr. Donell Bowen and the other leadership for growing our presence. Such a jolt of energy talking to the future of our speciality like Justin Olivera Adegbemisola Aregbe Perkins MS

I absolutely love this! Absolute power houses for diversity at UCDavisMedSchool So grateful to Mark C Henderson and Dr. David Tom Cooke for always advocating for inclusion in the medical and surgical space!Can’t wait to listen in!

Day 2 of my surgery rotation and I am LOVING it. Top moments so far include discovering “dirty” matcha lattes (just adding expresso lol) and Angelica C. Martin, MD, MPH teaching me how to remove a drain today then immediately getting asked to place one in the OR! ☺️😊
