Today we celebrate freedom, resilience, and the enduring strength of the Black community.

At SBAS, we honor the legacy of those who paved the way and remain committed to mentorship, education, and creating pathways for the next generation of surgeons.

Reflect. Educate. Inspire.

Read to the end. NPR asked why the Trump team ended a low-cost program that cured millions of tropical diseases w drugs donated by pharma. The spokesperson replied with an NPR headline—“Farewell to USAID”—and said: “What do you think farewell meant?” https://t.co/jroqWdvH6Y

One of the most impactful sessions at #aamc25 LSL was the ORR session on social media with @KMirza ! I’m going to be more intentional in my engagement, especially for the topics I’m passionate about: Leadership development, surgical simulation and executive coaching!

It’s interview season! Here’s an article I wrote with advice for applicants, based on 15+ years of doing interviews at every level from med school to residency to fellowship. Give it a read and let me know what you think. https://t.co/97FBg96Xj0

This piece felt deeply validating. I still remember the sting of tears during training in front of my attending and the quiet shame that followed. Reading this reminded me that emotion doesn’t make us less capable; it makes us human. #MedTwitter

Neurosurgeon here.

You’re incorrect.

Carry on.

One of the quiet privileges of academia: you spend your days surrounded by some of the brightest people on the planet — all trying to understand something deeply. Not to sell it, not to exploit it, just to understand. That changes you.

Congratulations Drs. Ko and Taylor!!!!
