What a spectacular day!! Rounding out our presentations with topics of sedation and parental views of pediatric dentistry, & using frailty index to predict post-op complications in rectal cancer. Thank you to everyone who made this day such a wonderful success!

Should magnetic sphincter augmentation be an option for GERD after Sleeve gastrectomy? Yes according to Dr Nbubizu!
Should ERCP/MRCP be used to look at pancreatic injury in trauma patients? Dr Brindle recommends that it should be to accurately grade the injury & guide management

Looking at almost 3,600 resident evaluations at Geisinger: gender does not influence meaningful autonomy. The amount of meaningful autonomy was influenced by case complexity and PGY level. @ShabahangMo @Surg_Education @GeisingerSurgEd @LaneSamanthaM @hbemd #SEW2019

[Sarah Hayek @SarahHayek14]

@LaneSamanthaM delivering her incredible plenary presentation about resident autonomy and gender bias in the operating room. Wonderful job, Sam!! @GeisingerSurgEd @Surg_Education @hbemd @BoProtyniak @ShabahangMo @clairibelle #sew2019
