Evan Rotar, MD

@londyloo Would highly recommend inquiring about the health insurance policy and what is covered. Residency is a long time and having coverage is critical, great perk if healthcare is fully covered for you and dependents

APPLICANTS: reminder that you should strongly consider residency program perks in your rank list. Example: free & available parking, lunch stipends, educational resources, $ for exam fees, wellness days for appointments, and ability to plan some of your schedule). #Match2023

How you approach a "low-level" or "menial" job will be the same as you approach larger and more complex jobs. Striving for excellence as a surgical assistant will lead to further excellence as a surgeon! @kb_lemoine #quote

@jzaraterod @HakeemROufkir Goal is to build confidence and repeatability no matter how you pick up the suture or which hand you designate as your post. Building trust in yourself is key. I’ll even tie my hoodie strings just to reinforce principles of how knots will lay in a macro scale

New M3 on Surgery: How did you learn to one handed tie so well? Me: *still trying my best not to move the glasses case* 🫠 Any advice from #SurgTwitter ? 😅

@jzaraterod @HakeemROufkir Totally agree. Deliberate, focused practice to simulate the real environment as much as possible will always pay great dividends. Practice with both hands and understand how different throws will lay in different orientations.

@R_Strobes Followed by a great discussion of how to use FTR in clinical practice by @UVA_TCV_Surgery’s Leora Yarboro @AATSHQ @AATSED #AATS2022

Great intro to the concept of FTR and our rapid response team (the “MET”).

Come by room 206 to hear from @AndresJoven present our group’s work regarding the impact of a MET team on FTR - happening now! @AATSHQ

@R_Strobes @robertbhawkins Such an important topic. As technology advances so do the ethical dilemmas that may arise in patient care. Patient-first approach and open communication amongst all stakeholders (patient, family, care team) is essential. @AATSHQ #AATS2022

Expert discussion of the ethics of withdrawing care featuring Dr. Sade and @robertbhawkins. Something many of us have encountered during the pandemic, unfortunately.

@R_Strobes @FaisalBakaeen “A good surgeon uses 2 hands. A fantastic surgeon uses 3 hands. A world class surgeon uses 4 hands.”…Must have assistant engaged and using 2 hands during operation. Words of wisdom from @FaisalBakaeen …surgical education never stops @AATSHQ #AATS2022

Really enjoyable talk by @FaisalBakaeen re: coronary bypass and multi arterial grafting with sequencing of conduits. Congratulations!

Great session starting now: Cardiac Surgery Video - How I Teach it. Moderators include two UVA legends, Dr Kron and @GAilawadiMD , along with the esteemed @OPreventzaMD ! @AATSHQ #AATSBackTogether

@R_Strobes Fantastic talk @R_Strobes! Great presentation and expert answers to all questions @UVA_TCV_Surgery @AATSHQ #AATS2022

Excited to share our study of the effect of socioeconomic distress on failure to rescue at 8:45AM this morning. Our findings suggest SES should be considered in efforts to address FTR - Come find out why! #AATS2022

@DrBowdish @R_Strobes @UVASurgery @UVA_TCV_Surgery Excellent idea! Looking forward to it

@R_Strobes @EvanRotarMD Would he be interested to give this talk to us in Cleveland? We’re in the formative stage of a biodesign fellowship

Congratulations to @EvanRotarMD on a terrific T32 talk on design thinking and collaboration in medicine! Evan truly practices what he preaches - it's a pleasure to be on his team.

Thanks @R_Strobes! Couldn’t ask for a better teammate. Big things ahead for @UVA_TCV_Surgery residency program and research labs!
