I’ve seen firsthand how dedicated @HarborUCLA MDs/RNs/staff are in providing the highest quality of care to ALL patients regardless of race/ethnicity, SE status, or the ability to pay. So confident and glad that Mr. Woods is in outstanding hands. #TigerWoodsCrash @HarborUCLASurg.

Education: Just reflecting on how important this mission is to our Department. Despite recent challenges, so proud of all the innovation and engagement from all players. Thanks to all educators, trainees, and students for leading the charge. @UCLASurgeryRes @APSASurgeons.

A big thank you to all of our trainees and students! I’m always amazed by your resilience, innovation, drive, and empathetic hearts. You’ve kept us young and taught us old dogs with your questions and insight. Our future is bright! Happy New Year! @UCLASurgeryRes @APSASurgeons.

Recovery: slow, difficult, and personal. Be grateful for what you CAN do and aim for 1-2% gains. I still have a way to go after COVID and thanks to family, friends, and colleagues for your support. It takes all of us to do our part. @UCLASurgeryRes.

Thoughts and prayers to all emotionally, physically, financially, and spiritually affected by COVID. Thank you to all the caregivers, front line workers, and to everyone for staying safe. Thanks for the vaccine- a little late for me, but at least I’m recovering! @UCLASurgeryRes.

Life Tip: Do what is right. Even with all of the current challenges (economic, social, educational, emotional,. ) associated with the pandemic, work, and family- strive to do what is right. You don’t always have to be right, do what is right. @UCLASurgeryRes @UCLAMCH.

It was an honor to interview applicants for General Surgery Residency yesterday. What an incredible, bright, and diverse group. The future of surgery is in good hands! Good luck to all applicants and enjoy the journey! @UCLASurgeryRes.

Life Tip- Journey. I like the saying: It’s not where you start, but where you end that matters. Just as important is your personal journey and where you are heading. Enjoy the journey and learn as much as you can on the way! @UCLASurgeryRes @APSASurgeons @UCLAMCH.

Life Tip: Independent. My feedback to our chief residents after rotating on our service. All are independent and ready for practice. So proud of them and can’t wait to work with the rest of the class! It’s not where you start, it’s where you finish- independent. @UCLASurgeryRes.

Life and Wellness Tip: Gratitude. Easy to do today. The challenge is to express gratitude each and every day. It does wonders for your mental well-being. Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you to everyone working today so the rest can recharge. @APSASurgeons @UCLASurgeryRes @UCLAMCH.

Life and Wellness Tip: Reset. Resetting yourself is your own personal mindfulness. Can be as little as one minute. Reset daily and multiple times a day. Does wonders for your mental and physical health. @APSASurgeons @UCLASurgeryRes @UCLAMCH.

Life and Wellness Tip: Stay calm- Especially as we head into the holiday season! Staying calm helps your mental and physical well-being. I continue to struggle with this and work on it constantly.

Weekend Wellness Challenge- Breathe. Slow deep breaths does wonders to calm your mind and body. Practice often this weekend (10 breaths at a time) and try to carryover into the week. @APSASurgeons @UCLASurgeryRes @UCLAMCH.

Wellness Tip: Water. Drink it, a lot of it. Aim for half your weight in ounces. You will feel and sleep better. Water is essential!.

Life and Wellness Tip: Free! Thanks to our Veterans and all active duty members today and everyday for your sacrifices. Go outside, spend time w family/friends, move, reflect, read,. something to be free! @APSASurgeons @UCLASurgeryRes.

Life Tip: Your team is everything. I just spent last 2 days w APSA PDC. We worked together and challenged each other. As a result, I laughed, learned, and grew. Teams bring out the best in each of us! @APSASurgeons @UCLASurgeryRes.
