Congratulations to our soon-to-be graduating Cardiothoracic Surgery chief fellow, @DevenPatelMD on being selected Alpha Omega Alpha - a recognition of excellence in scholarship, teaching, leadership, service, and humanism in medicine. @AOA_society @hopkinssurgery

Congrats, you’re a brand-new attending.

You just finished residency, and now someone hands you a contract that says:

“$39 per RVU”

Cool, cool…

What the heck is an RVU? And how much money is that?

STS, alongside the house of medicine, thanks @SenJackyRosen, @JohnBoozman, @RepBrianBabin & @RepHoulahan for reintroducing the REDI Act. If passed, this bill would allow borrowers to defer interest on their student loans during their medical residency. #STSAdvocacy

@TomVargheseJr @CUDeptSurg @purplesurg @NMSurgery Oh, what a beautiful tribute and memory 🥹 May he rest in peace.

We had a blast discussing all things lung cancer with our Baltimore community today at the annual Cupcakes for Cancer event in honor of @HopkinsMedicine Thoracic Division pts & survivors! Discussed lung cancer screening, met survivors, and these incredibly adorable therapy pups!

My “why.” The best dad in the world living with stage IV NSCLC. November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month and I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for all dedicated to lung cancer treatment, innovation, and advocacy. 🫁 #bestgirldad #LCAM #LivingWithLungCancer

One of the best conferences I have ever attended! Excellent presentations & discussions, 10/10 dance moves, @SteveYangMD’s grand entrance on a whole horse, and meeting Dr. Fauci were just some of the highlights. You really HAD to be there! @OfficialSTSA #STSA2024

[Mayen Gonzalez, DO @MayenGonzalezDO]

Awesome lecture about approaching our first job - from interviews, to contracts, finances, weighing options, and what to look for/questions to ask - by Dr. SteveYangMD! Always grateful when mentors take time out of their incredibly busy schedules to share their knowledge.

What an exceptional panel for the Disparities in Access and Treatment for Personalized Cancer Care session at #ITSOS2024. The work being done to overcome the immense disparities in access to cancer screenings and care is inspiring!

[Brendon Stiles @BrendonStilesMD]

Nice talk from a great surgical resident, Shanique Ries, on surgery to remove the primary tumor in patients with oligometastatic NSCLC.

Can surgery reduce immune suppressive microenvironment and remove drug tolerant persistent cells? Does extent of surgery matter? #ITSOS2024

[Mayen Gonzalez, DO @MayenGonzalezDO]

Exceptional presentation by @maraantonoff on surgery in LCT for oligo-persistent NSCLC, the ever-pervasive and concerning socioeconomic disparities in surgery, and the critical need for thoracic surgeon participation in the changing landscape of stage IV NSCLC tx! #ITSOS2024

[Mayen Gonzalez, DO @MayenGonzalezDO]

Excellent David S. Sugarbaker Giants Lecture by Dr. Weder! Standing our ground for our patients with evidence-based medicine and surgery in this rapidly changing field 🫁🔪#ITSOS2024

[Mayen Gonzalez, DO @MayenGonzalezDO]

How we treat lung cancer is rapidly changing and improving. Humbled by the works of some the brightest minds in the field! 🤩#ITSOS2024
