@opnotes resident | @umichMedSchool @michiganRoss @umichsph alum | passionate about #healthequity #diversityinmedicine & educational outreach | 🐶 lover
Joined January 2020
If you’re a program director, dept chair, dean, etc., will you reward #diversity, outreach, or #antiracism initiatives the same way you reward publications and “traditional” metrics? This work takes ALL of us, not just the diversity rep in your group.

We had an amazing Cadaver Lab earlier this week. From hernia repairs and thyroidectomies to complex GI, our residents did it all. We even had a cameo from Ds. Lee and Sgroi from vascular. (They put the "fun" in profunda!)

Loving my pediatric surgery rotation! Incredible mentorship in and out of the OR, and there’s nowhere better to be on Halloween than in a children’s hospital 🎃👻

A lot of students/residents ask me for career advice. I tell each of them the single best gift you can give yourself is taking the time (even ~30min/wk) to internally reflect what gives you joy. If you can find & honor that inner voice, you'll be happier & have more impact.

I’ve already reviewed the patients’ charts before I get in, but rounding gives the junior residents (like Intern @SerenaBidwell) and med students an opportunity to think through a case. #surgerydayinthelife

when the OR teaching involves surgical techniques and music education
08:30 Explaining how to insert trocars to @SerenaBidwell. The music selection depends on the operation and the energy. @AaronDawesMD chose a playlist based on AC/DC’s “Back in Black” for this case. #surgerydayinthelife
