“If you continue to ask questions, you might get answers - just maybe not the ones you expected.” Our final graduating fellow Claire Sokas on changing how we talk to patients about surgical decision making & understanding the rehabilitation experience of older adults.

Beyond grateful for two years at CSPH with Zara Cooper, Joel Adler, our incredible faculty and our cohort/cast of characters Rachel Atkinson , Michael Dalton , Claudia Orlas and Sami Osman. I'll be a better doctor thanks to these friends and mentors.

Had a great time writing this paper with Quoc-Dien Trinh, MD, MBA, Dr. Minami and the rest of our CSPH team -- the patient experience of surgical delays due to COVID: rdcu.be/cneg4

Every year over 1M older adults with serious illness have major surgery or severe trauma, but they are less likely to receive #palliativecare alongside surgical care, despite proven benefits including relief of suffering and improved postoperative outcomes.

So happy to see a paper that began as a back table CSPH discussion with Michael Dalton and @MollyJarman in print. Important to consider who is "home" to our older adult patients.

Congratulations CSPH research fellow Dr. Frances Hu for receiving the American College of Surgeons Owen Wangensteen Excellence in Research Award for the study Surgeon-Reported Factors Influencing Adoption of Quality Standards in Patients with Advanced Cancer Brigham and Women’s Department of Surgery #ACSCC21

Congratulations to our graduating chief residents and rising chief residents! 🥳 #BIDMC #whitecoatceremony2022

What a pleasure to see Zara Cooper at Hopkins Surgery, eloquently describing the importance of #PalliativeCare in surgery. “They said ‘do everything’ and I did everything I knew how to do.” There’s a more nuanced, goal-concordant approach to caring for seriously ill patients!

Likelihood of transplant is important to kidney transplant candidates, but transplant centers lack oversight in who they delist. We demonstrate variability in likelihood of death after delisting. ow.ly/UQrx50JsZuP #NESS #VisualAbstract Claire Sokas @joeladler

So excited to spend the next year with the team at Minnesota, following Tommy Curran and Vitaliy Poylin's impressive footsteps -- and reuniting with Shreya Gupta!
