Congratulations to @UABTrauma Division Director Dr. Jeffrey Kerby on this accomplishment!

It wouldn’t be a UAB Surgery grand rounds lecture without a group photo! 📸 Dr. Sidawy, a foremost vascular surgeon, was welcomed by the UAB Division of Vascular Surgery after his outstanding presentation this morning.

Today’s presentation wouldn’t be possible without the generous contributions of Dr. Kirby Bland and his family. Dr. Bland served as department chair of UAB Surgery for over 16 years and has been a mentor to countless medical students and residents throughout his career.

“You may know Dr. Bland as a formative leader of UAB Surgery, and he is a role model to many surgeons of my generation. I am honored to be chosen as the Bland Lecturer for this year.” - Dr. Sidawy

It’s beyond an honor to welcome Dr. Anton N. Sidawy, the 2025–2026 @AmCollSurgeons President, as the guest lecturer for the annual Bland Lectureship today! We can’t wait to share updates from his talk - be sure to follow along!

Outstanding Grand rounds this morning at @UABSurgery what an honor having Dr. Sidawy @GWSurgChair phenomenal talk! @herbchen

What a privilege to have current ACS president Dr. Anton Sidawy join us for the Kirby I. Bland lectureship to discuss pressing issues in surgery! @GWSurgChair @UABSurgery @herbchen

Major congrats to @DrKristaHaines!! We are so fortunate so have you continue your true servant leadership of @AcademicSurgery in the role as Secretary! I know there are great things ahead, and I can’t wait to witness it! #ASC2026

So proud of my endocrine surgery "mom", mentor, and friend @BrenessaL on her presidential year as @AcademicSurgery President and her incredible address at #ASC2026! It was an honor to serve as a class councilor with her at the helm this year! @UABSurgery

Had an amazing time at #ASC2026 and was so grateful to represent @UABSurgery this week.

What a wonderful surprise - getting pinned by @AcademicSurgery Past President Carrie Cunningham, with @dreskim recording over her shoulder! So much love for them both - they truly are my #GuidingLights #ASC2026

What an honor to be able to kick off my favorite academic meeting - #ASC26 on behalf of @AcademicSurgery and jointly with Dr. #DannyChu and @UnivSurg! Looking forward to a great week ahead!

Grabbing our coffee and getting ready to enjoy more presentations this morning. ☕ It was great to see Dr. Tori Hyunh and General Surgery Resident Dr. Nicole Rademacher, before Dr. Rademacher's plenary presentation this afternoon! #UABatASC2026.
