Super excited for next week and so grateful to the Gertler and Clark Foundation for endowing this critically important highlight of our academic program. Excited to welcome Dr. Lee Kirksey to UMass.
Congratulations to Dr. Dockery and Dr. Fan on their in depth analysis of vascular trainee case logs presented at #VAM2025. Open and endo case volume remains high!
NESVS recognizes the inequity between applicants that in-person residency interviews can create. We want to address that with this new award, sponsored by the DEI Committee. See our website for complete details and deadlines. https://t.co/UNcRTmrTap
Exceptional group of undergrad #DEI in surgery interns this summer, who all gave meaningful & touching presentations of a special case they experienced, rotating with gensurg, neurosurg, transplant, ACS, pedisurg, ortho, vascular.
Four future surgeons who will change lives.
Dr. Creeden is the perfect example why I have a love/hate relationship with graduations. So excited for his career and future patients, but ridiculously hard to watch him go.
Remember this name—Dr. Thomas Creeden. He will bend the curve on our understanding of vascular disease. Easily one of the best trainees we have graduated. Springfield, Missouri population just won the vascular surgery lottery. Best selling review book and best vascular surgeon!
Everyone wants more block time, new hybrid rooms, new devices….but what really matters is your people. You live and die by your people. Work somewhere with great partners who take great care of patients and great care of each other. @umassmemorial @UMassChan

The work continues! Thank you @Surg_Education for prioritizing #DEI in the era of anti-DEI and post-affirmative action
Truly inspired by these #URiM college students at our 2nd annual “A Day in the Life of a Surgeon” symposium. They are the future faces of surgery, to represent the communities we serve! All are so eager & passionate, we just have to open those doors of opportunity for them. #DEI
