Sam Arbabi

Aaaaand that’s it. The year has been exactly as advertised in that I had no idea what I was in for. Such a great place to learn and train. So thankful for everyone teaching me and working to make me a trauma surgeon @erika_bisgaard @ArbabiSam @harborviewmc @bulgercot

"Dr. Copass was a beacon of excellence, setting high standards for himself and those around him,” said Dr. Tim Dellit, CEO of @UWMedicine. "He was admired for always being ready for an emergency, whether it was carrying a radio to go to the scene of an accident himself, providing medical advice to paramedics, personally attending to patients or mentoring colleagues.” @harborviewmc @AirliftNW @UWashEM @MedicOneFndn @SayreMR bit.ly/4c05K4N

Gotta say I am super excited to finally meet my co-fellows, mostly because @jerosenMD and @kaj_mehta have already been the absolute best with helping move my family across the country even though we haven't even met them yet. It's going to be a great year @UWSurgery 🥰

It is certainly a beautiful flower, but there is something uneasy about it, a foreboding sense: do not come close.

@FMoussaviHarami @UWCardiology @uwlabmedpath Congratulations

Today is my first day as associate professor at @UWCardiology @uwlabmedpath! I am very thankful for the support from my family and outstanding mentors and collaborators!

@MSMEDU Condolences to the family and the entire team

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Dr. Samantha Woolery, a beloved First-Year Surgery Resident. Dr. Woolery was formerly named MSM’s 2023 Intern of the Year. Her dedication to health equity and her compassionate spirit will forever be remembered. 🕊️ #InMemoriam

New @UWSurgery interns learning central lines from some @harborviewmc faculty and fellows. Looking forward to a great year.

@erinwhite_md Welcome to the Northwest

Ya girl is now a fully licensed physician in the fine state of Washington 🙌

@basakcoruhUW @miraonthewallMD @uwpccm @ucsdpccm @JamesTownMD @pkritek @ATSMedEd A great way to get people to attend a committee. Congratulations to @miraonthewallMD and the outstanding mentors

Dr. @miraonthewallMD’s last @uwpccm mentorship committee meeting to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter at @ucsdpccm!

Congratulations

Last three flights that I had with @Delta have been significantly delayed, so I had to rebook, recent one from DC. Again today, my flight was delayed twice, even after re-booking. I have to cancel and go home from the airport. Four delays in a row is a system problem @Delta.

Honored to give the Cryer Trauma Lecture today at UCLA in honor of Dr. Cryer's many years of service and contributions to advancing trauma care. @traumadoctors @UWSurgery

@uwsomwwami Congratulations

In 2 hours this space will be packed with family and friends, and in the front, 250 new doctors who will be receiving their doctoral hoods and reciting the physicians oath. And then we all get to call them doctor!

@CBerryTraumaMD Congratulations.

Honored, thrilled, and incredibly grateful for the support of my mentors and sponsors! Thank you!

Beautiful Bellevue Botanical Garden, WA, evening, Spring

@alisamae They meant that as a minimally invasive surgeon you are really good at watch monitors and screens and getting the big/safe picture

It would be nice if the teachers could prompt just a bit. “Anything else she is good at? Maybe being a doctor? Helping people? Surgery?” Nope. Watching TV. 😝 #doctormom

Our amazing @UWMedicine ECMO team performed their first off-site cannulation! Details & more about the ECMO team bit.ly/uwm-ecmo-offsi… @brakenridge_md @ArbabiSam @bulgercot @harborviewmc

So incredible to catch up with so many amazing colleagues and friends @elliotthaut @JosephSakran @ArbabiSam @TraumaDocSF and so many others. The future is bright with this incredible group.

The best thing about @AmerSurg #AmerSurg24 is the people. Great to catch up with past mentors, mentees, colleagues, bosses, partners, and friends. @JosephSakran and more. #SurgMentoring
