Great second day at #AVAS2025 with the iNSPIRe team!

MS3 @jessicayavner presenting “Impact of a Medical Student-Led Surgical Simulation Curriculum on Student Confidence in the Operating Room in a Limited Resource Setting” @KougiasP

[Association of VA Surgeons (AVAS) @VAsurgeons]

Confidence in the OR starts before stepping in. A med student-led surgical simulation course boosted skills & confidence across the board—even with a <$1,000 budget. Peer-powered, low-cost, high-impact training! @DownstateSurg @acgme

[Downstate Surgery iNSPIRe Initiative @SurgeryiNSPIRe]

Proud of our medical students' initiative and commitment to their #SurgicalEducation - @JessicaYavner is evaluating how a skills curriculum for medical students impacts confidence and competence in the OR. @KougiasP @sherenesharath @DownstateSurg @sunydownstate

Only 8% of patients eligible for lung cancer screening are actually screened. Screen 303 people for lung CA: save ONE life. It’s more effective than colon cancer/breast cancer screening but way less utilized! We HAVE to do better. @RushSurgery #WTS2024 @WomenInThoracic
