The neurosurgery residency program at the Univ. of Puerto Rico just lost its accreditation. Terrible. 😥 Please help these residents find a new home. They’re all excellent and hard working. Puerto Rico needs them to finish training, now more than ever. gofund.me/c5dd8e94

Check out my #ASTRO20 abstract looking at air gaps and VCF in VCBT for endometrial Ca! 1. VCF low despite most patients having air gaps 2. No association of presence, number, or size of air gaps with VCF. @Sushilberiwal @UPMCHillmanCC @RadOncResidency astro.multilearning.com/astr…

In job interviews and college admissions, we focus too much on what candidates have accomplished, and too little on what obstacles they've overcome. The true measure of people's potential is not the height of the peak they've reached, but how far they've climbed to get there.

A respectful reminder to all my PD colleagues. 👉 Puerto Rico has 4 LCME accredited Med Schools 👉 Education is 🔝 👉 Students are US citizens and underrepresented minorities (no need for Visas, green cards, etc.) 👉 Most students have no geographical constraints #MedTwitter

Or sometimes we just put a hyphen in-between our two last names instead of using only the first last name for simplicity
Latino patients usually have 2 last names. Our first last name is he paternal last name and our second last name is the maternal. There is a space in between. Some of us (for simplicity) prefer just going by just the first last name. There are many Hispanic patients in the US..

Grateful of such excellent training experience here at @UPMCHillmanCC @RadOncResidency @Sushilberiwal
Congratulations to L. Dade Lunsford and the @UPMC @PittTweet Gamma Knife team as they celebrate their 33rd anniversary today of treating patients. Over 16,000 patients have undergone treatment since Dr. Lunsford brought the first Gamma Knife unit to the U.S. in 1987. @Elekta

How can one expect a #COVID19 lockdown when thousands are still recovering from #Isiais without power? My mother has been without power for 85 hours now A natural disaster aggravating #PuertoRico's fragile infrastructure, during a pandemic, while cases are rising, is terrifying
Si no hay luz, lo más probable es q muchos no se han enterado. No ven ni escuchan noticiarios
