So so so excited to be doing a transitional year in Tucson to be w/ the fam then @stanfordanes for anesthesiology residency!!! Endlessly grateful for the patients that’ve opened their worlds to me, and the village that’s walked w/ me along the way. Ready for the next step 🤩🌈🤠

[Makela Stankey @MakelaStankey]

Learned a ton at today’s Virtual Anesthesiology PreOp event - highly recommend if anyone’s interested in the field! Thank you @amandasximd for hosting, @NatalieKoons for moderating, & @RobertGaiser1 & @mfjoyce3 for facilitating on the weekend (& it is Dr. Gaiser’s birthday too!)

@HarvardPGSSC @deena_gabri @gabycahill1 @AnushaJayaram @deengarba @AlexandraMBuda @AncheloVital can we have an RA watch party?! #traumahealers

[Makela Stankey @MakelaStankey]

Incredibly engaging #TraumaHealers webinar today - learned a TON about trauma and even more excited to watch the documentary! Thank you @HarvardPGSSC for putting this together and looking forward to all the ways we can advocate for better, more comprehensive trauma care.

I love that @InciSioNGlobal is bringing access to abortion care into #globalsurgery conversations! It is a human right, a necessity for women’s health and empowerment, and definitely a neglected issue for the surgical community to be much more vocal about! @gendereqsurg

[Makela Stankey @MakelaStankey]

Ecstatic to be a part of this piece — have been ruminating on this idea for a while, grateful @HarvardPGSSC brought @deengarba @AnushaJayaram @BHedtGauthier & I together to critically reflect on a topic close to my heart & put it to writing! Now time to do something about it.

@Senor_Mojito Oops, guilty as recently as Monday

[Harvard Global Surgery @HarvardPGSSC]

Saving the best for last. We have an incredible range of NGOs, academic institutions, and professional organisations coming together in session 3 of #APSurg to discuss strategic partnership towards surg, ob, anaes system strengthening. @RACSurgeons @wfsaorg @ranzcog @GICSurgery

[Kee Park @keepark]

Appreciate the powerful message from Paul Farmer at the Strategic Planning for Surgical System Strengthening in #AsiaPacific. We need to become stake "planters" rather than stake "holders" underpinned by the principle of accompaniment. @PIH @HarvardPGSSC @harvardmed @RACSurgeons

[Rashi Jhunjhunwala @rashijjw]

A deeply personal and thoughtful endeavor taken up by our team. Please let us know your thoughts on how we plan to continue the conversation and do the work of #antiracism in #globalhealth. It is of vital importance.

[Rennie Qin @RennieQin]

Saving the best to last. So excited for the 3rd session of the @HarvardPGSSC #APSurg virtual meeting series. It has been a pleasure working with this incredible team @AnushaJayaram @MakelaStankey @ZGFowler @keepark @JohnMeara

[Harvard Global Surgery @HarvardPGSSC]

Please find our official PGSSC Anti-Racism Statement on our website. In creating this statement we revisited our strategic plan and implemented an anti-racism curriculum in order to ensure our program spoke this truth before posting it publicly.

#Colonialism and its ongoing effects underlie many global & national health inequities. I'm so proud of @HarvardPGSSC's anti-racism statement. It is one of the most open, reflective, and honest #GlobalHealth organisations I have been involved in so far. https://t.co/fYocgxclgU

[Myron Rolle, MD @MyronRolle]

Had a chance to write about Global Neurotrauma and the Caribbean along w/ @deengarba and the legendary Dr Andres Rubiano from Colombia. Take a look when you have a chance! #2% #GlobalNeurosurgery https://t.co/e3zhKno6xc

@AnushaJayaram Legitimately think my feet have grown a half size from being barefoot all day

[John G Meara 🇲🇹🇦🇺🇺🇸 @JohnMeara]

Please read page 43 of @USSenate Appropriations 2021 bill in which #GlobalSurgery is mentioned as is #NSOAP allowing @USAID to fund national surgical strategic planning and surgical workforce education

Feeling optimistic about the future of @GlobalSurgery in the Asia-Pacific with the diverse inputs from funders, MoH, NGOs, and academia. Like Dr Anil Shrestha said 'surgery is no longer the stepchild of global health' but it's rightful sibling. #APSurg
