Jesse Goldstein, MD

I’m thinking out loud about networking, mentorship, and CVs. Posting as I work through it. All perspectives welcome. #MedTwitter

So proud of my brother @thatguybg for his launch of @microHQ today. And what an amazing launch video…briefly featuring yours truly. #MedTwitter #optimizinglife #AgenticAI

@JMSacks @Codie_Sanchez Microsurgery motto: we put the “Doppler” in OCD. Craniofacial motto: we put the occlusion in OCD.

@Codie_Sanchez We say this in surgery 365/24/7 Words to live by

Everything in your life will get better if you start sweating small details. You don’t get told this enough.

@DGArmstrong @KECKSchool_USC @USC @usc_vascular @ALPSlimb I could have used that cologne to cover up some of the more unsavory aromas I experienced when I trained at the Limb Center at Georgetown.

We have the best patients on the planet! Every day is a holiday at the limb preservation clinic. #ActAgainstAmputation

I remember finally sending my CV out to a mentor when I was an assistant professor, with a “keeping you updated on my career” message in tow. Then three days later learning my R21 was to be funded. Doh! #MedTwitter #AcademicTwitter

@OACerebro Don’t forget the many middle seasons of repeated revisions!

@panagis21 I had the same face after being invited to give some talks in Toronto in January…in person. 😂

This is the face when asked to give grand rounds to colleagues in Bermuda 🇧🇲… but virtually 🤦‍♂️ in the cold winter of the mid-Atlantic.

@AmandaFGodsey That’s why Ohioans maybe shouldn’t own a newspaper in PA.

Cannot believe the Blocks are shutting down a paper that’s more than a century old, leaving Pittsburgh without its top newspaper because the courts ruled they had to honor a contract with the union. Nobody wins here, but the entire Pittsburgh region & a whole lot of workers lose

Ok. Let’s talk about CVs. At this point in my career, I’ve built one that I’m pretty proud of…if I can keep track of the right version. Who has a better file naming conventions than final_final_v3.doc? #MedTwitter #AcademicTwitter

@allisonoconn So true! Feeling/being undervalued can lead to burnout which makes it even more challenging to care for patients and conduct meaningful research. It is not being greedy!

This whole “is academia a job or a calling” nonsense is silly. It’s obviously both and neither. It’s a privilege to work with patients and on interesting questions and people are called to make a difference. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t know your worth and value your time.

@nytimes @billpeduto So devastating. We are too vibrant of a city to not have a local paper!

Breaking News: The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said it would cease operations, signaling the end of a newspaper whose origins date to 1786. nyti.ms/498YBB6

Is the CV outdated, or just the way we manage the them? I'm still using word and praying the formattimg holds. Whose got a better system?

@ross_prager Really interesting visual

Here's a map of my global research collaborations! Interesting, apart from North America, most of my research collaborators over the years have been from the Netherlands! Check out this free tool to visualize your research co-authors and collaborators 👇 livewrite.app/map-my-coautho…

@oncology_bg We technically have the NIHMS system which creates a PMCID with full text access. Indeed, pubs which result from NIH funding are supposed to uploaded to that system. How many PIs comply?

I am going to continue to fight for this. All government/public funded research should by default be open access. Such an important trial- funded by public money- cannot stay behind a paywall. Public funded the research, now they should pay to read the results? Doesn't make sense. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

@hjluks Well said. This is so critical for young surgeons/trainees to understand. I would add to this that the largest surgeries, though often the most interesting , may not always be the highest value, especially when considering risk exposure, etc. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41115311/

After 30 years, my perspective has simplified... Surgery is a remarkable tool. But like any tool, it’s only as effective as the hands that wield it, the decisions that precede it, and the actions that follow it. You cannot ignore frailty, metabolic health, systemic inflammation, muscle mass, cognitive function, depression, unrealistic goals, and so much more... and expect all will be well. The operation is only the beginning. The outcome is the journey. And the real healing happens outside the OR. The real result is determined before and after surgery.

@danielgilman From 14th to 1st ward. Congrats on your team!

Ready to get to work for the people of Pittsburgh. Honored to serve Mayor O’Connor and support his vision for our great city’s future.

@OMGhanemMD @MayoClinicSurg @nourghazal_ @TonyBtrs @Wissam_Ghusn @oAbTala That's an FTE all unto itself just to organize that crew! Hat's off!🎩

@jgoldsteinmd @MayoClinicSurg @nourghazal_ @TonyBtrs @Wissam_Ghusn @oAbTala Thank you - a range from 5 to 18…

For the 4th year in a row, our lab, alongside amazing collaborators, delivered 40+ high-quality manuscripts. Not surprising when 7 manuscripts landed on my desk during researchers’ time off these past few days!! Exceptional work ethic. Relentless dedication. #BariatricSurgery

Ok professionals/academics? How much time to you actually spend updating your CVs? Do you have a system in place, or do you scramble last minute after someone asks for it?
