Pleased to share that I’ve been promoted to Professor of Surgery at UMass Chan Medical School.

I am grateful to my colleagues, mentors, residents, fellows, and students whose work and support made this milestone possible.

It’s a privilege and joy to contribute to academic surgery through patient care, research, and training future surgeons.

Dear Rising PGY1 (#4)

Be PUNCTUAL
Tardiness decays reliability & hints at inefficiency

Trick yourself: if conference or rounds start at 7 AM, plan to show at 6:50
Give yourself a Cushion!
