Congrats to @AbbyShettig on her #ACSCC22 presentation! Geriatric patients are often considered to be poor candidates for telemedicine care, but when surveyed, really appreciate it. PDs, definitely keep an eye for her #gensurgmatch2023 application! #OHSUHernia

Content Warning; death of a child.

I wanted to share about the single most salient experience I had deciding who I was as a physician from directly observing an attending. Tragically, it involved the death of a pediatric patient; a child about 18 months old.

As always this was fun and educational. Congrats to all the resident presenters.

If you are at a residency program, you should join…. Amazing discussions from world class abdominal wall surgeons.

[Amber O’Connor @Amber_OConnor_]

It is an honor to have such a fierce and humble woman leading the way. Working alongside Dr. Tsikitis is an absolutely incredible experience, and I am so blessed to be a part of her team. @tsikitis you truly inspire me every day. Thank you for all that you do!

[V. Liana Tsikitis @tsikitis]

I am so blessed to have such a wonderful team of bright phenomenal women who work with me !

Common assumption related to telemedicine are that patients in rural setting will not derive benefits or successfully use technology for medical services. A review of our experience at #OHSUHernia. Proud of @j_bray & team. https://t.co/1jsKdtsQgL @acsJACS @OHSUsurgery

After reviewing a bunch of pre-med personal statements lately, I figured I'd make a thread for all the pre-meds out there still working on theirs. PS Dos and Don'ts: A THREAD!🧵
