Chief Fellow Carrie Ryan, MD, MS from @JMHernandez_MD’ lab presented her ground-breaking research on FUDR-mediated biliary toxicity at The Presidential Plenary Session AHPBA. We couldn’t be more proud of her. #AHPBA2023

As we countdown to Match Day, I want you to meet Dr. Kevin Jon Williams. For nearly 20 years, he fought for - and eventually won - a student-optimal matching algorithm. It’s one of the great stories of advocacy in Match history… and the NRMP refuses to acknowledge it. (a 🧵)

Calling all residents and attendings out there - if you have an M4 coming in this week matched or not, send them home. If they’re scheduled to work on Friday, tell them not to come.

In 1998, a small residency program in Colorado lost its accreditation. It wasn’t the kind of thing that you’d expect to change the course of academic medicine. And yet, it *almost* did. Earlier, I explained how the Match started. Now, I’ll tell you how it nearly collapsed. 🧵

Never get tired of celebrating Carrie Ryan, MD, MS - look out for her as an up and coming surgical oncologist! Proud to be her colleague, lucky to be her friend

20Y ago, I matched to my last choice program for general surgery. But I was ecstatic, b/c I was going to NYC to start a journey no one else in my family had ever dreamed was possible. Life is funny, I graduated 9Y later from my 1st choice. Build the life you want. Start today.

Welcome to the newest members of UT San Antonio Surgery Residents!! July will be an exciting time for us. I’ll be coming back from research, you’ll be coming back from vacation … together we can learn the new EMR 😅

Congratulations to all the newly matched medical students going into general surgery! You truly are joining the best field in medicine. (Integrated CT is cool too😎) Here's my advice on how to set yourselves up for success in residency.

Absolutely incredible to be witness to this amazing study and treat patients on this protocol. Very proud of the many NIH fellows but especially A Leila Sarvestani MD and Bilal Asif, MD who brought this to fruition with Jeremy L. Davis MD, FACS. Find out more in April’s issue of The Lancet Oncology

Yes yes! Martha Teke, MD a champion co-fellow and role model of mine

Incredible Shadin Ghabra!!

Absolutely phenomenal job Stephanie Gregory, MD in your amazing tea talk today! Mentored by giants @AMBlakely @JMHernandez_MD #jellyroll

So proud to be his cofellow!! PaulHMcClellandMD

The end of an amazing era! ✨

It’s a strange feeling knowing that the grinning faces of your cofellows will soon be the faces of giants of surgery. The face that ate an XL bag of gummies will deliver the keynote, practice-changing talk at a national conf. I see it now, do you? These 3 yrs have been an honor❤️

Congrats to @tellkrish for his new position as a Stadtman Investigator!! The @NCI_CCR_SB is so lucky to have you. An amazing scientist but above all AN AMAZING MENTOR. Patients of the surgery branch are so lucky to have you on their side, Krish!
