An understudied determinant of health in surgery is #homelessness. Establishing definitions & integrating them into surgical documentation would help improve care for our unhoused pts. Nice work from @UCSFSurgery @UCSFGSResidency; thanks @MKushel! ja.ma/3PHwMTF

If you find yourself sitting up straighter while reading this, ergonomics during surgery is important. 80% of surgeons experience pain. Proud to co-author this article in @JAMASurgery with Dr. Pouya Hemmati and @JosephDearaniMD. Link to article here: bit.ly/3mWjMxn
Wisdom from the best. Surgery is lucky to have you, @sparklyscalpel ! #sparkleon š¦
3 years ago today @UMichSurgery gave me the opportunity to share a bit of wisdom from my training. Though the world seems impossibly different in 2022 I think the lessons still ring true
To all the eager interns about to embark on an incredible journey, here are 10 lessons:
aš§µ
Evaluating the distribution of medical school graduation awards through an equity lens. Excited to have this work in print! @GSandhuSurgEd @JoshKurtz13 @QuintinSolano @UMichSurgery @UMichMedAdmiss
Having a hard look at our learning environment and enacting more equitable practices and processes for medical student. rdcu.be/cPrQU
These outstanding humans helped me write progress notes on Sundays, brought me lunch when I was overwhelmed by consults, volunteered me for their OR cases so I could learn, taught me about their own mistakes, and shared their years of wisdom. We will miss you!! @UCSFSurgery
So deserving and canāt wait to see what you do @TasceB !!
Dr. Tasce Bongiovanni (@TasceB), has received a K23 career development grant from the NIA to better understand and address prolonged use of non-opioid postoperative pain medication in older adults after surgery. Her primary mentor for this grant is Dr. @MikeSteinman.

Fantastic writing and an important message from my friend @divyansh_aga šš¼
Belonging, in healthcare and society at large, starts with a name. I'm grateful to @SuzanneKovenMD & colleagues @MGHSurgery for helping me pen my reflections in this essay. I hope many of you across #MedTwitter will relate & reflect #OurNamesBelong : cmaj.ca/content/194/22/E777
Guess who wonā¦ š¤ @UCSFSurgery
Intensely fun afternoon kickball game between faculty AKA team #pronate vs residents AKA team #supinate @UCSFGSResidency @UCSFSurgery @UCSFvascular on a gorgeous afternoon. Still trying to figure out who won š¤·š½āāļøš¤·š½āāļø
SO well deserved. Cheering from here!
Me, to my 6 year-old son: I got tenure today!
K: What is ten-your?
Me: It is a good thing that happens at my work.
K: Oh..... Can you massage my hand?
Me: Yes, I can massage your hand.
Feeling grateful for tenure, and for my son keeping it real. Today is a good day!
