Congrats to Dr. @LeslyDossett who has accepted the position as the new Chair and Clinical Service Chief for the Department of Surgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City. A fantastic leader, Dr. Dossett has a track record of achievement in several leadership roles as Division Chief of Surgical Oncology, Maud T. Lane Research Professor of Cancer Quality Improvement, professor of surgery at Michigan Medicine, and deputy director for clinical innovation and engagement at Rogel Cancer Center. Nationally she is the current Recorder for @AcademicSurgery and the immediate Past President of @SurgOutcomes . Her research leverages implementation science frameworks and behavioral strategies to improve health care value. Amazingly, after surgery residency at Vanderbilt, Dr. Dossett served on active duty with the United States Navy, including completing two deployments supporting combat operations in Afghanistan. She completed a clinical fellowship in complex general surgical oncology at Moffitt Cancer Center and joined the faculty of the University of Michigan in 2016. As you can tell, I’m a huge fan. Know you will thrive Lesly in the new position, and look forward to your success as Chair. Congrats! @KuSurgery @KUMedCenter @KUcancercenter @UnivOfKansas @WomenSurgeons @UMichSurgery @jdimick1

This #FoundationFriday, we’re celebrating Dr. Vasu Mathur, recipient of the 2025 AWS Resident Travel Award! Read her reflections on attending and presenting at the Annual AWS Conference - and what this opportunity meant for her growth as a surgeon and leader.

Sean Dineen is a one heck of a surgeon, clinician, @MoffittNews program director, and the list goes on. His golfing skills….welp. We can talk about that off line. Great time @SocSurgOnc @MayoClinic booth. “Way to go Sean that was a good one!” 🤣

Congratulations to Susan Vadaparampil, PhD, MPH, (@SVadaparampil) on being named the Senator Connie Mack Researcher of the Year. Her leadership and dedication to advancing cancer prevention and survivorship research continue to make a meaningful impact for patients and families.

Congratulations to Jennifer Cox, MD, on being named the Charles C. Williams, Jr., MD Physician of the Year. This prestigious honor highlights a physician who embodies exceptional leadership, patient connection and dedication to the center's mission.
