Great job Ida Molavi MD FACS FRCSC and Amelia Maiga, MD, MPH discussing PMG and CCP development at the #EAST2024 guideline development short course! Lisa Kodadek, MD George Kasotakis MD MPH FACS FCCM EAST

Incredible Scott B Frame Lecture by an absolute icon of surgery to conclude the final day of #EAST2024. We will all go home feeling validated & empowered as surgeon generalists thanks to the incredible insight shared by Dr Karen J. Brasel. Be a spork! Karen EAST

Glad we attended this talk together Jessica Weaver MD PhD - it’s only fitting given our time as Dr Brasel’s medical students in Milwaukee at MCW well over a decade ago. No small coincidence we are both now trauma surgeons! Medical College of Wisconsin #EAST2024 EAST MCWTraumaACS MCW Surgery

Role of a generalist in #Leadership. Great Frame Lecture by Karen - completely validating my life (and many others) as a trauma and Acute Care surgeon. Breadth>>>Depth Generalization>>Specialization “Jack of all trades” is a compliment. Read the whole quote #EAST2024

Yes! Can confirm celebrity sightings. Nick Carter former resident at @VUMCTrauma and just met Chris Brown this week at #EAST2024. If not for Chris & his time mgmt skills during leadership development course, would still be lost at sea in Orlando. 🌊Salina Wydo Stephanie Streit
