VMAT Total Body Irradiation remains relatively uncommon nationwide. Our team at UMMC recently brought this capability to Mississippi, building on published work from leaders like @StanfordRadOnc and @cityofhopeoc. Academic medicine at its best: learn, validate, implement, and bring advanced care closer to home.
Today, America wakes 250 years later as a beacon of hope, a republic entrusted to its people, an idea that changed the world.
A nation worth preserving. A dream worth pursuing. A freedom defended by every generation.
Happy 250th, America! 🇺🇸
Today, we welcomed @iNayanAgarwal to our #radonc residency and Prakash Pandey to our #MedPhys residency. We're excited to have them on board and know they'll radiate excellence.
Technology that treats. People who care.
Our Edge radiosurgery system is already treating patients, and Ethos adaptive therapy will launch soon. Proud of the team delivering precise, compassionate cancer care every day.

I competed with DPS RK Puram a lot as a school kid.
Chess, debate, quiz, acting (yes, unfortunately), writing..everything.
I was internationally rated (FIDE rated) at 10. I have won several national awards for the rest as a school kid.
However, the guys over at DPSRKP were undefeatable. They would walk into the tournament hall and youd know today was going to be atleast one sided, if not humiliating.
Their dominance was just so ubiquitous. And not just at competing, but also at having fun.
I learnt a few things from that:
1. Outlier initiative produces outlier outcomes. If we all read the same books and write the same exams, we become only slightly different versions of the same.
2. An institution that looks after its best does a lot better than an institution afraid for its worst. The Indian Institutional DNA is to constantly placate the worst while ignoring its best.
3. A child learns 10x more from peers and competition than from teachers and authority.
4. Personally- do weird things. Dont be afraid of rabbit holes. Find alpha in the abnormal, regardless if your surroundings provide or encourage it. Thats the only way to move fast without the care for others.
5. More recently, exposure is a bigger predictor of success than intelligence. At least exam intelligence is far more inferior to tinkering with newness.
But great to see my brother @amangupta0303 on this list. 💪
@peyushbansal Sir, I tried to use lenskart from the USA to order glasses in India. Was amazed to see there is no way to do it with the geo-fencing. I am honestly surprised Indians outside cannot order for self/family in India! Makes no sense to me at all. Intentional?!
Let’s make history together and shape a future that’s looking truly radiant for Mississippi. This is your chance to connect, ask questions, and see all the exciting opportunities here with us. #UMMC#Match2026#AHealthierMississippi#itsabouttime
Match 2026 season is upon us! That means it’s time to share our @UMMCRads diagnostic radiology program’s stats to help #FutureRadRes determine if our program is a good fit for you. Don’t miss out on the southern charm, great food, and low COL. I’m happy to share more - just ask!
@airindia My mother, a senior citizen who was traveling on DEL-IAD 23/04/2025 due to a family emergency, booked and checked in to fly on seat 3B (Business) was held at the gate in Delhi only to have her seat reassigned to a worse seat with a non-functioning screen.
