I was thrilled to hear that @MiraTanenbaumMD matched at the prestigious UPenn! Mira has worked hard throughout her residency, her dedication to her patients and mentoring her junior residents knows no match. Can’t wait to see her success continue.
@GWSurgery
Penn Vascular is thrilled to welcome two outstanding surgery residents to our fellowship starting August 2026!
Mira Tanenbaum from George Washington Univ and Sasank Kalipatnapu from Univ of Mass @pennsurgery @VascularSVS @FutureVascSurgn @VascularMD @MiraTanenbaumMD @ksasank
After what has seemed like both a long time and no time at all, I’m now a board certified surgical intensivist. So that’s pretty neat! Thanks to @GWSurgery @GW_CCM and all my mentors along the way for the never ending support/encouragement/guidance along the way.
Huge congratulations to @GWSurgChair Dr. Sidawy on this honor. Looking forward to starting my career under his continued leadership.
Huge congratulations to our Chair of Surgery, @gwsurgchair, for being named President-Elect of the American College of Surgeons! 🎉 Such a well deserved honor & a huge achievement! We are lucky & proud to have you at @GWsurgery #Leadership #SurgeryExcellence #ProudMoment #ACSCC24
Not surprised at all by that description of Dr. Apte’s presentation. She’s yet another #rockstar from @GWSurgery!
Continuing the representation at @AmCollSurgeons meeting, Dr. Apte, PGY4 @GWSurgery, not only crushed 🔥🔥🔥her presentation… she answered the questions with poise & confidence with a big smile on her face. #GWproud #StellarSoonTobePedsSurgeon
Way to go Dr. Haney! Loving all of the @GWSurgery representation. These #womeninsurgery are going places!
Continuing the #GWrepresentation at the @AmCollSurgeons meeting. Dr. Haney (PGY4) eloquently shedding light on the optimal technique for emergent paraesophageal hernia repairs using NSQIP #GWProud 🙌
Dr. Tanenbaum is another rockstar from @GWSurgery. Greatly looking forward to watching her grow in her career. Look out @VascularSVS 👀
Proud of Dr. Tanenbaum (PGY4) for killing her presentation on “Outcomes of 5-Vessel Fenestrated and Branched Endovascular Aortic Repair”! 🔥 The hard work and dedication really showed—amazing job! 👏 #AorticSurgery #EndovascularRepair #GWproud #WomenInSurgery
Hard agree. I wonder if @rbarbosa91 could do refresher on this skill??

Trivia of the day:
The Coudé catheter was not named after a person..."Coudé" is just a French word that means 'bent', and technically you could use it for any other device that has an angle to it if you really wanted...🤔

🧵regarding the 'Fish' -- officially known as the Glassman viscera retainer.
The Fish is an occasionally used surgical tool that is used in abdominal operations during closure of the fascia to cover the bowel, protecting it from being accidentally stuck with the needle.

“Tell the Court I love my wife” - Richard Loving
In 1958, the Lovings married in DC and returned home to VA, which was considered a crime. In 2023, thanks to their case, I was able to marry my wife @CzestochowaF in DC and return to VA. #lovingday #EqualProtection4All
