Excellent work by our surgical critical care fellows and Duke Trauma Center team. Our fellows have more abstracts accepted than months that they have been here. We are very proud of @StarSurgeonMD Julie Walsh Gillian Hoshal and their research mentor Dr Krista Haines. ⭐️Rising Stars

Interesting findings and excellent discussion. While I still believe that getting to the OR faster for penetrating abdominal trauma pts, the time to OR may not be the best metric to follow for reducing mortality. This article calls us to find better metrics to follow for quality.

So proud of our Duke MS4s for matching into phenomenal General Surgery programs! #match2024 #suturefuture John Migaly Lisa Tracy Duke General Surgery Residency

A labor of love! Congrats Catherine Beckhorn on your Journal of Surgical Research publication📝 This study shows pre clerkship skills sessions boost confidence but don’t always align with real clerkship tasks. Ongoing curriculum review is essential to trainee education! 🔗authors.elsevier.com/c/1l05H578Xlo98
