The most important quality in a mentor, teacher, or coach is not how much they know. It's how much they care. Caring is more than taking pride in your success. It's feeling joy as you progress. The people you want in your corner are the ones who celebrate your growth.

"Mentorships with a transformational nature, on the other hand, can help both you and your mentor prepare for a fast-paced future, no matter what career path you want to pursue." hbr.org/2022/01/the-be…

Honored, humbled, and thrilled to be joining the team at Mayo Clinic alongside this impressive group.

Atul Gawande Atul Gawande World Health Organization (WHO) Thanks Atul Gawande for emphasizing this important cancer vaccine. HPV-mediated oropharyngeal cancer now more common than cervical cancer, would be great for you to highlight this as well!

It was an excellent first week getting to know the Mayo Clinic ENT team. Thrilled and grateful for all that is to come! 🦻🏼👃🗣 #MedTwitter #ENT #residency #MedEd #ENTerns

Bootcamp 2022 is off to a great start! Residents teams worked through emergency simulations in our state of the art sim center. Faculty provided great feedback and teaching. Looking forward to day 2!

Ending a great 3 days of Bootcamp. Residents spent the day in the anatomy lab learning approaches to trauma and procedure skills for the juniors. The star of the show was Jay Morris and team’s 3D sinus models to help learn nasal endoscopy and anatomy.

Incredibly grateful for the friend, mentor, and role model I found in Dontre’ M. Douse, M.D. during my first rotation as a resident. He inspires those around him to be better and do better through word and action.
