1/6 Today I gave 5 pieces of advice to our new @UMichSurgery interns.
First I asked them if they had a culture. “Not yet”
I suggested they would soon and when they were chiefs, they would own the culture of the residency. They will create it starting now.

Great day at @cosecsa together with many global colleagues and friends. Wonderful graduation ceremony with Namibian Vice-President celebrating 148 new graduates, including many from @edinsurg_online@rcsed@prcsed
