One of the greatest privileges & motivators in academic surgery is the opportunity to teach- "see one, do one, teach one" goes back to Halsted!. I first met Konmal before her sophomore year at @UCLA. Over the last 3 years, it has been such an honor to see her spread her wings.🤍
Spectacular & important work on psychosocial risk factors among patients admitted for elective cancer resection by our superstar @UCLA undergrad (and future surgeon!), Konmal Ali ✨ Medical schools, watch out for her upcoming application!. Read the paper 👇
