We’re seeing double! 🤓 Our rising PGY2s got to fit their loupes today- we are so excited to see them in their new gear, and to upgrade their operating tools! 👀 🩺

Did you know our Brown Surgery family is also in St. Thomas?! Our previous graduate, Dr. Comissiong, returned to her home in St. Thomas to work in her community- and also established her home as a selective location for PGY3 and 4 Brown Surgery residents! ☀️

Smile, it’s picture day! 📸 Our residents came together to take our annual program photos and made some fun memories along the way ✨🙏🏻🩺 We can’t believe we’re approaching graduation day already!

Some of our residents attended the Annual Medical Education Conference last week! It was a special opportunity to share more about our Brown Surgery family, and meet incredible colleagues and future surgeons! 🩺 🌟

We are so thrilled to have attended SAGES this year! Our residents got to present their research + our Brown Surgery family was reunited. It was an incredible conference where we learned so much, connected with fellow surgeons across the country, and had a blast! 💯✨🩵🤝🏻

Dr. Wathieu, one of our chief residents, transformed her hobby of drawing into medical illustrating! ✍️ 🫁 We are in awe of her talent. We have included some of her work (and a journal publication featuring her art!) in this post. Here is her website: 🎨 @N04" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">flickr.com/photos/1895575…
