Very excited to match two phenomenal applicants to @OhioStateSurg #colorectalsurgery fellowship.
Drs. @hussamshwaib from @NJMSDeptSurgery and @LWeaver_MD from @UMNSurgery.
Looking forward to working with you next year!!
It was an absolute honor to reconnect with two true icons of American surgery, @2_ellison and Scott Melvin. Years ago, they took a chance on me, hiring me as faculty straight out of fellowship. The trust they placed in me fundamentally changed my career trajectory and shaped the surgeon educator I aspire to be. I am profoundly grateful for their mentorship, their enduring support and the indelible impact they have had on my professional journey.
Strong showing by @OhioStateSurg residents @MichelleChanMD and @JoyCZhang, #colorectalsurgery fellow Katryna Thomas and @OhioStateMed student Ramy Hassan at Ohio Valley Colorectal Society abstract session!!
