I am impressed and indebted for the support of CWIS, Stryker, KLS, and a best-ever faculty: Andrew Choo, Jonah Davies, Evgeny Dyskin, Austin Heare, Babar Shafiq, David Weatherby; and a phenom support staff! #MN Scapula Course 2022

[Peter A. Cole, MD @PeterAColeMD]

I often say it takes a generation to turn the crank on a new way of diagnosing and treating previously unrecognized pathology. The evolution requires aligned research, education, and leadership, as well as a market to draw interest and resources. #MN Scapula Course 2022

[Peter A. Cole, MD @PeterAColeMD]

Happily astounded by the hunger for competence in the field of Scapula Surgery, as well as knowledge of the Forequarter Lateral Implosion complex. #MN Scapula Course 2022

Only 3 weeks left until The Minnesota Scapula Course and the anticipation is building. We have a standout faculty which will bring firsthand learning-curve insights into the context of Case-Based learning and Cadaver-Approach dissections. SIGN UP NOW! https://t.co/dK95FpIARe

Nothing more academically gratifying then to watch the first public presentation of aspiring med students and residents presenting your passionate discoveries. Zach, Ilexa and Michael just crushed it Friday at U of MN Grand Rounds!

Love working with this VR-AR Missionary, Claire Thomas, who is helping to launch simulation modalities on our research and clinical care settings! This spot will be used for Chest Wall Injury Summit in Park City, UT where my team will be presenting on several topics. @CWISociety

3D Printing has indeed become more commonplace in my preop planning. In addition to planning cut-angles and fragment dimension, I like to make a 2nd 3D Print to give one to the patient for education and a momento. They like this! https://t.co/bA8Aiq5ZG1

“Eager to pull the Med Students out of virtual to light their FIRE for Ortho Trauma! We do not know whom amongst them will be, but they are our NextGen traumatologists, now about 6-10 years out.”

[Peter A. Cole, MD @PeterAColeMD]

“Taking the First All Scapula Course to Europe was a milestone. A 72 hour Marathon to Madrid—and 24 New Scapula Surgeons are ready to deploy back to 9 countries.”

Aircraft design A330-900, don’t like it—Business Class with multiple design flaws. But how often have I heard of a patient disappointed and focused on their scar despite having a terrific result of the fixation and fracture. Thank you for getting me home safely KLM-Delta.

[Peter A. Cole, MD @PeterAColeMD]

Quite excited to Co-Chair the only AO Course dedicated to a single bone. SCAPULA

“5th NorthStar Trauma Network meeting a smashing success. Great engagement, learning, ideas, new surgeons, and APP's and research team, and an all-time participation 31 members from our 6 hospitals!”

[Peter A. Cole, MD @PeterAColeMD]

And furthermore, I owe it all to God. Whatever I have done, He has given me to do, whatever success, He has given me my upbringing and gifts; for I do not know why I am so fortunate, but I know to whom I owe it all.

[Peter A. Cole, MD @PeterAColeMD]

To a mentee who gave me too much credit I said, “Your gratitude is the cause of your resiliency and good health and success, personally and professionally.”

[Peter A. Cole, MD @PeterAColeMD]
