Our first meeting of the 2025-2026 academic year! 🥰 Welcome new and returning @AmJSurgery STARS members ⭐️

Most people who know me know I don’t have a poker face - so everyone in the room knew this truly shocked me … Thanks to Dr. Lundy and our amazing @JEFFsurgery team 🧡 And thanks @ReneeTholey who kept the secret from us the entire first part of the conference LOL

Last week GSS and @JEFFsurgery hosted an introductory meeting for a new mentorship program between students and residents. What a great way to kick off the year! Our wonderful residents spoke to m1-m4 students on why gen surgery, research, life outside career & much more! 🗣️📣👏

Last month, we were asked to be a part of the team presenting to @AAMC to showcase the work we have done with @CeaseFirePA to combat firearm injury. SKMC was a finalist for the Spencer Foreman Award for Community Engagement! @JEFFsurgery @Jengeller1 @Betsy_prezioso @avamilani1

MS4's check out our @AmJSurgery article. I remember being super stressed preparing for interview, but remember that practice will make you feel much more prepared!

We have certainly had a busy month on surg onc (and I have been enjoying learning a lot), but it was also nice to have some down time today to review some basics too 🩺 @JEFFsurgery

Objectively the best part of this job 🥰

Bonus! Be nice to those consulting you! I had WAY too much fun with the ED last month as a night float intern 😂 @pjtomaselli

10) Enjoy the ride! Be patient with yourself and keep at it with those around you. This is ultimately such a transformative year and despite the hard moments will also have so many more rewarding ones!

9) Lean on eachother — I spent many days talking to my co residents, fellows, and attendings about tough cases. There have been no shortage of people who have leant ears and hugs to me this year. I am so lucky to be at a place where people checked on me very frequently!

8) Take care of yourself — this is going to be a crazy and amazing year. But it’s hard! Keep your hobbies (I took dance classes again!). Go for a walk. See your family and friends when you can (or call them on the phone!)

7) The patient is your best teacher. Sit and spend some time talking to them. Their cases helped to guide my reading and studying (both in the OR and on the floors)

6) SEE THE PATIENT! For example, do not fall into the trap of reflex ordering more and more pain meds for a patient whose prescribed ones aren’t working for their abdominal pain without doing a physical exam to make sure they suddenly aren’t peritonitic when they hadn’t been!

5) My nurse friends are some of the BEST! They got me through night float, we order snacks together, and we work through problems together. If you get an epic chat and a nurse has a concern, go talk to them & the patient. It’s then where we have solved problems as a team!

4) Treat everyone in the hospital with respect and kindness. Again - Treat everyone with respect and kindness And to piggyback on that ⬇️
