Pintuition magnetic seed vs Savi Scout for localization of non-palpable breast lesions. Performance or Preference? #breastcancer #localization rdcu.be/eGjuU

@WomenSurgeons A5. Recruit mentees. ask who may be interested in your project. difficult to do it all by yourself. #AWSChat

What advice do you have for aspiring/ young surgeons aiming to integrate research into their career trajectories? #AWSChat

@WomenSurgeons A5. Say yes to projects if asked to help #AWSChat

@WomenSurgeons A5 Don’t be afraid to pursue clinical questions, big or small. They can all be basis for research projects. #AWSChat

@WomenSurgeons I worked with engineers to address clinical questions. Also working with industry employing different technology to improve patient education #AWSchat

How has mentorship and collaboration with other researchers impacted your career trajectory? #AWSChat

@WomenSurgeons A4 Both have played a huge role. Also important to collaborate with researchers from other specialties and non-physicians. Having mentees is also tremendously helpful in developing and carrying out projects #AWSChat

@WomenSurgeons Also can do a pubmed search on a topic of interest and see whats been published in the recent year #AWSChat

How do you stay updated with the latest research and advancements in the field of surgery? What resources or platforms would you recommend #AWSChat

@WomenSurgeons A3 Twitter! Feeds from breast cancer and general surgery journals, national clinical trial organizations #AWSChat

@WomenSurgeons A2 sometimes have to stay up to work on research after finishing clinical work. but not sustainable everyday. I may do a power research weekend, but recruit family to help w/childcare. #AWSChat

How do you balance clinical responsibilities with research commitments in your daily routine? #AWSChat

@WomenSurgeons A2 important to ask for help when feeling overwhelmed. potential mentees to help with projects, clinic manager to help with clinic efficiency, family to help with children... #AWSchat

@WomenSurgeons @AnamNEhsan1 yes important to take care of oneself first. sometimes easier said than done #AWSChat

@WomenSurgeons A2 Can definitely be challenging juggling clinic, research, and family. Fortunate to have a lot of help with my kids. Clinic responsibilities seem to come in waves. When clinics are slow, I try to get more academic work done. Hard to do both at the same time! #AWSChat

@WomenSurgeons A1 another project is looking at the cost effectiveness of intraoperative lymph node evaluation in clinically node-negative breast cancer patients receiving upfront surgery #AWSChat

What is the focus of your current research? How do you anticipate its future impact? #AWSChat

@WomenSurgeons A1 Clinical outcomes research. One project on #malebreastcancer patient perspective on surgical outcomes and satisfaction with appearance. #nipplesparing mastectomy is rarely done but may be safe for some with better cosmesis than total mastectomy #AWSChat

@WomenSurgeons Breast surgeon at Stanford University @stanfordsurgery #AWSChat
