I wanted to say how thankful I am to work with the most amazing nurses and PA a surgeon could ask for. Besides making sure my patients get the ultimate Scottish Rite for Children experience, they also gave me the emotional support I needed to get through my #blacksanta experience (lol)

I had a blast with Harms Study Group co-mentee, Dr. Jen Bauer, at our first Harms meeting in sunny San Diego. To be in the room with some of the best pediatric spine surgeon-scientists was amazing. I'm super excited to learn from this group of mentors! SetScoliosisStraight

Had a blast working with members from around the world on the Scoliosis Research Society Communications Taskforce as we try to future proof the organization. After many hours of pre-work and 6 hours of presentations, its fitting to end w/ a selfie video. Scottish Rite for Children

Please check out the latest Scoliosis Dialogues podcast where I interview my former Johns Hopkins Orthopaedics attending Dr. Brian Neuman, currently at @WUSTLortho , on his published article titled, "Return to work after adult spinal deformity surgery". bit.ly/3HPbK4o

I just read the most consequential paper related to the diversity problem in surgical training...written by my friend Dr. Selina Poon . We can't improve the gender and racial diversity of our surgical workforce if we keep firing these budding surgeons: bit.ly/3Yn94RJ

Are you a medical student interested in ortho but need mentorship and publications bolster your application? Please consider applying to the Scottish Rite for Children Research Year Program: src.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Scottish… #orthotwitter #orthomatch2023

Two years ago I was struggling with how to be a "present" dad in the world of academic orthopaedics. I followed Dr. Cato Laurencin's (bit.ly/3Js9Yr0) advice to combine the two worlds and bring my kids. This was the best advice ever! JRGOS #AAOS2023

I seriously could not think of a better orthopaedic surgeon that deserves this award. Congrats Dr. Sabatini!!! POSNA

Late post, but #AAOS2023 also had their first ever Peds Ortho Ortho Dome session. I was happy to moderate my friends and colleagues from across the country who presented their surgical technique videos to a packed audience. Stay tuned for next year! POSNA

I had a blast serving on the board for POSNA with this amazing group of pediatric orthopaedic surgeons, lead by Jeff Sawyer. Looking forward to one more year with Scottish Rite for Children 's very own Dan Sucato in the drivers seat!

For any past fellows of the Scottish Rite for Children, don't miss this great newsletter highlighting all the new innovations and happenings of our current faculty, fellows, and SRC alumni! bit.ly/3Pw79IK

If I could accomplish even 5% of what Dr. Alvin Crawford has accomplished in his life, I would be content. Therefore it was such an honor to be the visiting professor for the Crawford Lectureship at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.

There is no greater honor than being asked to speak at the institution that trained you. I had an amazing time speaking at Hopkins Ortho, on how Stereotype Threat and Microaggressions have contributed to our field being the least diverse in all of medicine.

I just got notification that my promotion to Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery was approved! Thank you to my many...many mentors who set me on this academic path and have continued to support my career!

I'm elated over the many black and brown medical students who matched into orthopaedics this year. The JRGOS made a video showing the matches: bit.ly/4awHMxV. #orthomatch #orthomatch2024 #orthotwitter

Day 1 of my @srs_org Edgar Dawson Traveling Fellowship in Montreal. A highlight of my day was touring the lab of Dr. Carl-Eric Aubin whose innovation lab has invested over $75 million and produced over 140 projects that have translated to multiple start up companies already.

I was honored to give grand rounds to the department of surgery at the @chustejustine Childrens Hospital in Montreal. I discussed how the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) of our pediatric patients affects numerous outcomes in Pediatric Orthopaedics.

Unfortunately my @srs_org Edgar Dawson Traveling Fellowship with Stefan Parent has come to an end. I had an amazing time learning more about vertebral body tethering and meeting the orthopaedic group here at CHU Saint-Justine.

Yesterday marked my last day on the @posna_org board of directors. You couldn't ask for a better group of people to work with in moving the pediatric orthopaedic profession forward.

The University of Michigan has a storied history of pioneering advancements in orthopaedics and putting women in leadership roles decades before other programs. I had a blast giving their DEI grand rounds and spending time with this close knit group.
