Proud to share our recent publication in @CardiologyYoung! This project was a privilege to contribute to—reflecting on the clinical, ethical, and societal shifts that have shaped care for this population. @daviftenorio #CHD #Trisomy21 #PedsCardiology bit.ly/3HE58ZL

I've had the privilege of working with Dr. Gottlieb, and each time I’ve been struck by her skill, compassion, and dedication to teaching. She’s an incredible anesthesiologist and advocate for her patients. So glad to see her work recognized👏 #DellMed #MedEd #PedsAnesthesia

Had an incredible time at the suture clinic last week for our Congenital Heart Surgery elective. Learned how to cannulate for cardiopulmonary bypass and patch an ASD. Hard to believe the amazing opportunities I’ve had as a first-year med student! #DellMed #MedEd #CHDSurgery

Learned how to deliver a baby yesterday! Huge thanks to Dr. Tsai and Dr. Shaffer for taking time out of their busy schedules to teach us. Can’t wait to put this into practice during my Women’s Health clerkship in July! #DellMed #MedEd #WomensHealth

Observed my first heart transplant today at @dellchildrens. An extraordinary experience and a powerful reminder of the impact of pediatric cardiac surgery. Grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a skilled and compassionate team. #DellMed #CHDSurgery #MedEd

Last day of the semester teaching Health Sciences at a local Austin high school! It's been such a rewarding experience helping these students explore their passion for healthcare. Grateful for the thoughtful parting gift, too! 📚🩺 #HealthSciences #FutureHealthcareHeroes #DellMed

Such a nice surprise from our graduating @DellMedSchool MS4s who took the time to write us messages after their last lecture yesterday! This one in particular really stuck with me. Excited to continue to follow each of them along their journeys🧡🤘🩺 #DellMed #MedEd

Finished up a great spring break at Copper Mountain in CO. Great opportunity to recharge before finishing out the last few months of first year!

It was a pleasure to speak on the evolution of care for patients with Trisomy 21 at Dr. Fraser’s teaching rounds this AM. Our closing question: “As medical professionals, how can we better advocate for patients with T21 individually and systemically?” #DellMed #CHDSurgery #MedEd

My amazing classmates (and friends) know me so well! I feel so lucky to be surrounded by such incredible people at @DellMedSchool today and every day🫀❤️ #EPeeps #MedEd #DellMed

Another fascinating day on my congenital heart surgery elective! Observed an atrial septal defect repair with Dr. Fraser. And as always, Hook ‘Em!🤘 #CHDSurgery #MedEd #DellMed

Day 1 of my Congenital Heart Surgery elective! Thrilled to learn from the incredible Texas Center for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease team at @dellchildrens. Huge thanks to @DellMedSchool and @daviftenorio for this opportunity. #CHDSurgery #MedEd #DellMed #DellChildrens
