#ACG2024 ⁦@OsamaHamidMD⁩ ⁦@AmCollegeGastro⁩ Award Best IBD abstract. Takehome: RSV vaccines are given at low rates in #IBD. Those receiving RSV vax had fewer infections, complications, hospitalizations. We should include RSV in IBD vax checklists ⁦@CleClinicMD⁩

@MazenAlMansour3 @SurgJournal @KateEEngelhardt @CelestinoGutirr Depends. I would say it could be more “fair” than it is now. One thing that wasn’t touched on in the article is that younger surgeons often do the same, if not more RVUs, than older surgeons and make significantly less. Academics is very hierarchical that way.

@KateEEngelhardt @CelestinoGutirr Is such an optimal compensation system realistic in 2024? I don’t know. But I believe that a major source of frustration to academic surgeons is the discrepancy between their goals and the goals of the academic institution

“The goal of an optimal compensation system is to have faculty minds focused on things other than compensation—those elements of their job that are most important, such as career development, multidisciplinary clinical programs, research, and education.”
