@NSIG_UACOMp @uazmedphx That’s fun. We may have to try this in Tucson!

Yesterday, 20 @UAZmedphx students learned to place EVDs in both simulation kits and a clever watermelon model. Great hands-on learning with Banner #Neurosurgery. Many thanks to the team of students, residents and fellows that pulled this together! #MedEd

@mjavilamd HbA1c. Your favorite lab!

Simple labs that help prevent complications. When surgery is elective, there is enough time to test/treat in order to optimize our patients before surgery. #SpineSurgery

@mjavilamd Or do Navigation and never wear lead again. Spine goals.

Measure twice, cut once X-ray twice, drill once. #Surgery #Spine #Safety

@BrooketheOstomy At the VA this year and To quote my favorite movie caddy shack. “You’ll get nothing and like it”. University hospital gives 1200/yr.

Does your residency/fellowship give you food or money food? If so (or not) and you feel comfortable sharing, what is your specialty and how much do you get per year?

@UAZMedTucson Way to go Austin!
