Last week, Dr. Henri Ford delivered the Michael E. DeBakey Distinguished Lecture during Surgery Grand Rounds.
An internationally renowned pediatric surgeon, Dr. Ford is recognized for his global contributions to the field of surgery and his longstanding commitment to advancing academic medicine. As dean and chief academic officer of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, he has prioritized training the next generation of surgical leaders, expanding research funding and driving innovation across medical education, research and clinical care.
Our Global Surgery resident, Dr. Henry Olano Soler, completed a rotation in Ecuador with the Cinterandes Foundation, working with their mobile surgical clinic. Thank you, Cinterandes, for the partnership! 🇪🇨🚐
Kicked off my first global surgery year with an orthopedic surgery rotation at Ben Taub Hospital. Applicable surgical techniques in my opinion include external fixation, bone abscess I&D, and soft tissue closure #GlobalSurgery#BCM#DeBakeySurgeons

Pope Francis was the rare leader who made us want to be better people. In his humility and his gestures at once simple and profound – embracing the sick, ministering to the homeless, washing the feet of young prisoners – he shook us out of our complacency and reminded us that we are all bound by moral obligations to God and one another.
Today, Michelle and I mourn with everyone around the world – Catholic and non-Catholic alike – who drew strength and inspiration from the Pope’s example. May we continue to heed his call to “never remain on the sidelines of this march of living hope.”

Check it out! Alumni Dr. @youmnasheriff and current global surgery resident Dr. @LubnaKh_ published their work in @acsJACS this month regarding academic global surgery!
Incredible work by our residents yet again 🌎 #BaylorMade
In my residency application personal statement I spoke of the need for better representation in Global Surgery. I got feedback in the interview trail that this may be perceived negatively as people working in the field…
have always had the best intentions. Let’s be clear that calling for representative physicians is not a diatribe to the current system, but rather represents the hope for health equity. By definition, this is not an exclusive notion! Happy National Latino Physician Day🇨🇴🇺🇸
