@gothiccowgurl I’m gonna screenshot this and send it to you as soon as I see a “I hate Portland” tweet

Got to introduce myself as “Dr. Alver” to a patient for the first time today. So that was pretty dope.

@gothiccowgurl Now you can be obnoxious and put ‘Dr’ under every title you can. Plane tickets, coffee subscriptions, dinner reservations…

@JennaAziz1 😘😘

LOOK AT YOU NOW!

Throwback to my first time in an OR as a first year med student #surgery #ctsurgery

You matched! Now what? In this month's cover story, the Bulletin takes us through every aspect of the match experience, from celebrations and moving prep to staying in touch and finding your community. #Match2023 facs.org/for-medical-pr…

More than 50% of medical school students are women, but there’s still a gender gap in some of the top specialties. Only 8% of thoracic surgeons are women and even fewer are women of color. But these female physicians at a California hospital are changing the future of medicine.

@andrewswright @UWSurgery @uwgensurgres I couldn’t be more excited to be joining these incredible women for my first three years of residency. It means a lot as an incoming resident to see how the UW community defends women who have more than earned their right to be there.

@callie_mt @UWSurgery we strive to match the best residents who we train to be great surgeons. It used to be all men. Now some years there are more women than men. We consider that progress. We are proud of an inclusive training program where each can reach their potential to serve patients

Attention aspiring 🫀🫁 surgeons! Are you interested in serving on the national organization for medical students interested in CTS? The 2023-2024 TSMA Leadership Council Application is now open! Due April 30th at 11:59 pm ET forms.gle/g7PDj3oNgvH9yA… @LenaETrager @JohnTreffalls

Thank you and congrats to our newly matched panelists for an insightful Q&A on away rotations tonight! @EdgarArandaMic1 @MarySiki @NaimaAlver @A_MartinMPH @Colin_C_Yost @GarrettMSchick @ZachJBrennan And thank you to our Diversity Chair @CynthiaRangel02 for organizing!

It might seem like a small gesture, but it’s incredibly meaningful when an attending introduces the medical student during the pause, or has them introduce themself. It makes me feel like I am truly part of the team. #surgery #ctsurgery
