@SIO_Central Y90 Master course was my final meeting as a trainee - and a fitting transition to being an attending IR. Thanks to the organizers and experts for the amazing opportunity.

@linemonkeymd @DrRAO_MD @AlexDabrowiecki @EddyArous I hope next year's OEIS meeting time won't conflict with GEST meeting

@SIRspecialists Residency Practicum delivered invaluable lessons for new IRs, brought me to Chicago where journey began 7 y ago at @northwesternir w/ @AGabrMD, and reunited me w/ @Chandler927 of @UVA_IR! Thanks to all faculty - generous with their time and expertise!

Reunited with friend and former co-resident from @PittRadiology Dr. Shantanu Warhapande @UMichVIR. Sage and timely lessons for @RicardoMG_VIR and I as we prepare for our next steps.

@serafettnznkn @SLURadiology @rrcolen @SerterGumus @AwanRad Congratulations!! Our loss at @PittRadiology is @SLURadiology's gain!

As we countdown to Match Day, I want you to meet Dr. Kevin Jon Williams.

For nearly 20 years, he fought for - and eventually won - a student-optimal matching algorithm.

It’s one of the great stories of advocacy in Match history… and the NRMP refuses to acknowledge it.
