Thank you Dawn Coleman & Duke Vascular for the invitation to Duke Surgery for Grand Rounds. I had an amazing time meeting with and learning from a stellar group of trainees and surgeon-scientists. Somehow NCAA basketball did not come up.. Probably for the best 😄 #GoTritons!

We are super excited to welcome Jordyn O’Dell to our Duke Vascular Surgery family! Congrats and welcome, Jordyn!!! #MatchDay2025

Thank you Vascular SVS Foundation for the support of these young surgeons to participate, grow, and engage with the SVS as they grow their vascular career! #VAM2025 #VOYAGE - Vascular Surgeon Opportunities for Growth, Advancement, and Education

New in Journal of Vascular Surgery: bit.ly/3SZToTb Switching to a “Surgeon of the Week” model for acute care vascular surgery cut inpatient pre-op LOS by 1 day without increasing weekend/overnight ops or hurting productivity. Efficient, focused care = better outcomes. #VAM25 #Simulpub

From first hand experience - such a fabulous model for patient continuity, trainee burden, and surgeon efficiency. 10/10 recommend but it does take a special group of attendings with trust and collegiality to be successful.

Excellent poster presentations by Adam Johnson MD, MPH, Christina Cui, and our phenomenal medical student, Hana Shafique!! #VAM25 FutureVascSurgeons Duke Surgery
