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

As more young adults face colorectal cancer, doctors urge earlier screening and stronger awareness of warning signs that often go ignored. wtop.com/health-fitness… thank you @WTOP and @LindseyMastis for discussing this important topic @MedStarHealth @MedStarGUH @Georgetown

For over a decade, Global Spine Outreach has shown what compassion looks like in action. 691 volunteers. 3,301 children screened and cared for. 67 missions across the world. 693 life-changing surgeries. Take a moment to watch this video and see what impact really looks like. One spine at a time.

PSA: To our medicine/ID colleagues -- ’source control’ of an infection usually doesn’t lead to 100% eradication of all radiographic abnormalities. If you’re going to re-scan, there will probably be some schmutz there (and no, I don’t always need to go back in after it). 🙏
