Congratulations to @AhmetKilicMD on your well deserved induction into the @AmCollSurgeons Academy of Master Surgeon Educators! 🎉
Your dedication to guiding and nurturing young talent is truly remarkable. We are fortunate to have you as our fellowship program director!
Can’t believe today is the last day of my intern year. The nurses @HopkinsBayview really embody the excellence of patient care and I learned a lot from them. Excited about the next academic year - I will be holding your general surgery consult pager 😊😉
@rredett
-PRS including Cleft lip and palate repair, neoplasms, burn, contractures are reatively low cost and highly cost effective.
-Yet, there are 4 million children with unrepaired cleft lip and palate.
-We need to create local centers for safe and excellent outcomes.
JH Global Surgery Symposium from on Bridging Borders here @JHGlobalSurgery - Entirely
A thread 🧵
Key points:
@keepark
- Emphasized the importance of mobilizing efforts from policy design to implementation.
-Venture capitalist and investors are critical.
@MrsMaswime
- “Social determinants of health” puts the blame on the patient. We should also consider the economical and political determinants of health.
-Reducing the need of surgery should be on the agenda for improving global surgery.
GUNS kill people. The magnitude of lives lost to gun violence is very real, extremely saddening, and constantly witnessed by frontline health workers. Please listen to this genuine and heartfelt discussion by Dr. @JosephSakran about gun violence.
“I cannot accept this as a reality for America – and I don’t think any of us should,” shooting survivor & trauma surgeon Dr. @JosephSakran tells me. He speaks movingly about “the second victim effect,” the trauma visited upon loved ones, witnesses & survivors after gun violence.
We can't wait to welcome Dr. @keepark and Dr. @MrsMaswime to join Dr. @rredett and others in Baltimore for our global surgery symposium on Saturday, April 1!
We hope that you will join us too — please RSVP below (virtual and in-person options available): https://t.co/cRj5iyQsSM
