🔥The dynamic duo Drs. Rebecca Stone and @KaraLongRoche leading our 🇺🇸 efforts in opportunistic #salpingectomy to reduce #ovariancancer. Hear their @SGO_org post-session updates! #SGOMtg #SGO2025 @karenluMD

Happy match day to all my fellow Gyn Oncology applicants 🌟

Excited to share our QI paper published in AJOG. If you’re not already adding metronidazole to cefazolin for SSI prophylaxis in Gyn surgery, you should start! Adjusted OR for SSI 0.49 ⬇️ with addition of metronidazole. @TaylorJolyn @kmschmeler @MDAndersonNews

@leitaomd 👏🏼 looking forward to it!

@SamLeiteMD As it should be for all programs. In person for us forever

First in-person interview since applying for medical school 😱 #fellowship #gynonc

We were proud to give Larry Copeland, MD, a big hand after his final surgery at The James. 👏👏👏 Congrats to Dr. Copeland on more than four decades of surgical expertise. We can't thank him enough for all he's done—and continues to do—for @OhioState's #GynOnc patients.

It’s never easy saying goodbye to patients going home with hospice…and I hope it never becomes easy. “It’s been an honor to care for you” ♥️

Wow, the GREAT news continues for drug approvals in endometrial cancer! Today, pembro+chemo FDA-approved for pts w/ dMMR AND pMMR advanced/recurrent disease! This is historic & progress for our pts; honored to be part of the study team! Congrats ⁦@rne_md⁩, ⁦@NRGonc⁩

In my chief era 💁🏼‍♀️✨

Fantastic work by @Doctor_Beryl evaluating ongoing research to leverage unique features of low-grade serous carcinoma in an effort to refine treatment options for patients with this rare tumor subtype. @ROCearbhaill and Rachel Grisham, MD @TeamOvary_MSK pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38805312/

It’s good to be back 🤖#UterineCancerAwarenessMonth #gynonc #roboticsurgery

When cancer starts in the uterus, it's called #UterineCancer. The most common type occurs when abnormal cells grow in the endometrium. A much rarer type is uterine sarcoma, which forms in the muscles and supporting tissues of the uterus. igcs.org/ucam/

@SamLeiteMD Have fun - meet new friends - learn the field and find the right fit to train… take time to answer questions and have some questions prepared that are program specific

@Doctor_Beryl @SamLeiteMD I second this one. 15 years later, my co-interviewees from the trail are my favorite colleagues that I look forward to seeing at SGO every year.

@SamLeiteMD Agree with be honest and yourself, but you need to also be prepared. Know something about the programs you chose to interview and why. Actively work into your discussions what makes you stand out. (I give my trainees 4 things to get across, but no room here)

@SamLeiteMD Get to know your co-interviewees, they’ll be your colleagues for life! Best of luck!

@SamLeiteMD Be genuine!! Don’t worry about what you think they want you to answer, answer honestly. You want to be at a place that wants you for you. Good luck!!

@SamLeiteMD Best wishes! Prepare for❓on your “why” for gyn onc & program qualities you’re looking for. Do your homework on programs/faculty you’re interviewing with; it shows sincere interest. Join @SGO_org to take advantage of fellowship interview and great resources/mentor opportunities!

Be yourself, be honest and really want to do this…
