Stephanie Cohen, MD

And I’m so grateful to be supported by @BIDMChealth @BIDMCSurgery

@StephCohenMD This is SO well deserved. I had the absolute privilege of working closely w/ Bryan throughout his GI fellowship @BIDMChealth @BIDMC_GI. These attributes-compassion, empathy, kindness, were quite evident from his very first day of fellowship. Congrats Bryan👏👏👏

I am so proud of my Fiancé for being recognized for his sincere kindness and extremely caring nature

Tonight we are running our sixth workshop for general surgery residents at the MFA for residents at @BIDMCSurgery ! We use art to talk about making intentional observations, awareness of our own biases, communication, tolerance of ambiguity, and perspective taking

First day of cardiac surgery, so only fitting to post my CABG from 6 years ago! Time flies…

6 weeks to go.

@UVASurgery Dr. Yates is the resident who made me want to apply into general surgery when I was a 3rd year medical student!!!

We are pleased to announce that Elizabeth Yates, MD, MPH will join our team as an Asst. Professor of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery this fall following a fellowship at U. of Wisconsin. She brings expertise in vascular care, public health, and sustainable surgical delivery!

Last night at 3AM I noticed my drawing was outside the MICU on Rosenberg six! I was asked to make a logo a couple of years ago to describe the goals of providig transformative, humanistic care as part of BIDMC’s humanizing the ICU initiative

Honored to be invited as an expert for a Surgical Illustration Workshop at IHPBA 2026, Singapore. Exploring how structured surgical drawing can enhance anatomical understanding and preoperative planning in HPB surgery. More details coming soon!

Some is always better than none. 91 Days until Boston, first workout of the training cycle is tomorrow!

I had much less time last year, and ran on 66% of days of 2025 rather than 83% of 2024 and 90% of 2023…and PRed in the 10K and marathon—each individual run was hillier and I got stronger and faster for it. We shall see what happens in Boston in Chicago marathons for 2026.

Year 2 of our 4-hour medical illustration course for surgeons at ACS is a go! It may be the best two week stretch of my life yet with this, getting married, and running a marathon within a 14 day period ♥️ 2025 was quite a year and I can’t wait for 2026.

@jdimick1 @AnnalsofSurgery @AndrewMIbrahim @JBMatthews @jdimick1 @AndrewMIbrahim what if we could start a medical humanities section open to all visual art forms and creative writing by surgeons and trainees, that is peer reviewed—and choose art and an artist statement to feature on the cover on a quarterly basis?

Since taking over as Editor in Chief of @AnnalsofSurgery, we’ve been working on new cover art/graphics. I’m favoring going with the throw back look; a retro, clean look. The vinyl record of journal covers. Thoughts? Suggestions?

This was the only race that I wasn’t nervous for at all. It was about mindset and knowing I could do it.

So many thoughts to express after I get home/through my 24H shift tomorrow. 2:56:53 official

Surgical illustration is difficult because it consists of three parts. In the vanguard workshop, I will tell all tips of liver anatomical sketches! Here we go! #LTSICON @ltsicon2025

When your favorite person takes their boards so you create an overly literal card per usual

⚡️ I’m hitting LTSICON 2025 in New Delhi this November! Bringing a high-energy workshop on surgical illustration & HPB/LT planning — pushing visuals, creativity, and surgical thinking to the next level. Let’s shake things up together! #LTSICON2025 #HPBSurgery #LiverTransplant
