Excited to attend #ACSCC25 in Chicago this October-a meaningful milestone as I pursue my FACS designation. Looking forward to learning, connecting, and growing alongside surgical leaders, mentors and colleagues in the ACS’s home city! #ACS #Chicago #Surgery #FACS.
For the first time in a decade, Clinical Congress will be held in our home city of Chicago!. Surgeons share why they are looking forward to coming to the Windy City for #ACSCC25 this October. Will we see you there? 👀🏙️. @emb7658 @sgkeswani @GWSurgChair @TimmermanGary

This highlights a critical gap. While FLS and FES are part of most programs, objectively assessing open and robotic skills remains a challenge, especially given unequal access to surgical technologies. Could programs create their own structured assessments? Possibly, but.
In a national survey, 89% of surgical program leaders believe technical skills should be part of board certification—but only 15% say current assessments are sufficient.

Always appreciate thoughtful conversations around the intersection of surgery, aesthetics, and patient well-being. Looking forward to this episode. Appreciate your continued efforts to elevate the field, Dr. Roth. #Podcast #SurgicalPodcast #PlasticSurgery #PatientCare.

As a surgeon I have seen what happens when unlicensed kids ride fast e-bikes on roads without knowing traffic rules or wearing helmets. E-bikes are here to stay. They are fun, but this growing trend needs a serious safety conversation. #EBikes #InjuryPrevention #EBikeSafety.
I hate to be old man shaking fist but these e-bikes that every suburban 13 year old boy fly around town on seem like a terrible idea.

The CHALLENGE trial reinforces what we have long suspected. Structured exercise after colon cancer treatment can save lives. It’s time to treat exercise as a core part of cancer care, not an afterthought. #CancerCare #ColonCancer #Exercise #ExerciseOncology #CancerSurvivorship.

100%. The scalpel follows where the mind leads. Clinical acumen shapes every cut. #Surgery #ClinicalJudgment #DecisionMaking.
Disagree. While technique in surgery is important, clinical knowledge & judgment might be more important. The eyes 👁️👁️ do NOT see what the mind 🧠 does NOT know.

Strong leadership and clear rationale from program directors! .#SurgEd #ABSITE #ABS #SurgicalTraining #JAMA.
@HassanRHashmiMD we agree. Sarosi GA, Spain DA, Johnson S. Elimination of the Percentile Score From the Surgical ABSITE—The Program Director Perspective. JAMA Surg. 2025;160(1):6–7. doi:10.1001/jamasurg.2024.4512.

As someone whose majority of ABSITE percentiles were in the 90s (92-99), I know test performance can open doors but it doesn’t define a complete surgeon. I fully support the move away from percentiles. It’s a win for surgical education. A resident’s growth should be measured.
The ABS is eliminating ABSITE percentiles. Why? Percentile scores are unstable, misleading, and never meant to guide promotions or fellowship decisions.

Honored to see rural surgery getting the attention it deserves. As someone who travels weekly to serve patients in underserved Pahrump, Nevada, I know firsthand how vital this work is. Grateful to @AmCollSurgeons and Dr. Sutton for leading this important conversation.
The second annual Creighton-CHI Health Access in #RuralSurgery Symposium, “Building a Sustainable Future for Rural Surgery,” was recently held at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. ACS President Dr. Beth Sutton shares the highlights 📝

A rare cloudy day in Pahrump, Nevada today! Feels peaceful and calm. One of the many rural areas in our state that need regular surgical coverage. Always a privilege to serve this community every week. #RuralSurgery #RuralHealthcare #ColorectalSurgery #Surgery #Wednesdays
