Tonight, @McMasterSurgery gathered in appreciation of the residents of our Department. As Dr. Kelly said, “You are the beating heart of our hospitals, and we know we couldn’t do the work we do without you.”
Thanks to @ihjaffer and @EdwardsLifesci for a phenomenal FLICCS course in Toronto last two days.
Fantastic talks on important soft skills and technical skills for surgeons of all stages.
Excited for next year.
