I’m going to be honest, I have a lot of AMEC FOMO right now 😭

Congrats to a leading light in CT Surgery, Dr. @leahbackhusmd , on her promotion to Professor @StanfordCTSurg effective June 1st. Be careful folks. There’s shattered glass ceiling pieces all around us! #inspirational @SocietyofBAS @WomenInThoracic

You have survived 100% of your difficult days so far…

Any @SBASRes @SocietyofBAS folks at SAGES? Lets link ☺️

@SpicyLanDaDon Congrats! Welcome to the family! #GenSurg

To all the un-matched m4’s: You are brilliant. You are needed. You deserve a place to develop your skills and serve your communities. Dig your heels in and FIGHT like hell. You can do it.

@shaharlaks Congratulations bb guuurrrrlll!!! So proud 🥹

@EstherDuqueney As he should

Jogging around the neighborhood with my dad and he keeps stopping to tell our neighbors I’m graduating from med school in 2 months. 😂😂

@TTimeTatum Let’s talk about it! Cuz med school was just the warm up. Residency as a URM has been a monster as well

Are we ever going to sit down and talk about how med school is one of the most unhealthy things you can do in life, especially as a URM? Cause ya boy was not prepared 💀 #Match2023 #MedTwitter #BlackMedTwitter #MGWL23

@fleming_ii Its absolutely infuriating. I’ve been mistaken for wait staff at multiple residency events, once by a faculty member.

Felt this in my core. The fact that no amount of merit can change the way we are perceived (and not seen) by a large part of White America (including our colleagues) is honestly sickening. Aren’t You the Valet? Tales of Black American Surgeons | NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

This piece hits home! Bias is REAL and so are the consequences. Aren’t You the Valet? Tales of Black American Surgeons | NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Its thank a resident day! Thx to all my co-resi’s past and present AND all the trainees keeping academic and community medical centers afloat with your love, labor, and dedication. #WolfPack @MCG_Surgery

Happy Valentine’s Day. 💋💋To all the lovers out there, I have 2 words: Flared. Base. Love, Your friendly neighborhood colorectal surgery resident 🖤

The entire medical education system is predatory. I said what I said.

Dr Pitt sharing our chest wall deformities expertise @LuriePedSurg , very well received @AcademicSurgery @FizanAbdullahMD #ASC2023 - thanks @YueyungHu for facilitating high yield session!
