It is truly uplifting to see Surgery Residency Programs across the US stand up to demented times & offer IMGs fair #match2026 evaluation. Shout out to @APDSurgery for being on the right side of history. IMGs: tag these programs here, 1 at a time. They deserve to be celebrated.

If you’re working with Lebanese colleagues, please understand the immense burden they carry. Though they sit beside you, their hearts are oceans away, aching with the fear and sorrow of loved ones caught in the horrors of war. Their minds may drift, deadlines may falter, but remember—part of their soul is still in Lebanon, tethered to a land and a people enduring unimaginable pain. Be kind, be patient, and extend grace—for while they are physically present, they are also fighting an invisible battle, one that weighs heavily on their every moment.

A special appeal to all #ProgramDirectors in this match cycle: Please give thoughtful consideration to #IMG applicants from war-torn regions, like the Middle East. The hardships they’ve endured to reach this point are immense, regardless of religion or background. #MedTwitter

Age-related hearing loss may contribute to declining functional status in older adults, and hearing aid use alone did not attenuate the association. ja.ma/4cJm4IB @SaharHAssi
