Q4: Dr @tyrobbie & coauthors mention that the current US surgical workforce distribution limits access for both rural and inner-city patients. How can we recruit trainees and surgeons for these areas? #ASEJC @TraceyDechert @MeganJaneway @dianehaddadmd @AmCollSurgeons @APDSurgery

There is no #GlobalSurgery without #GlobalAnesthesia. In some countries, anesthesia mortality is as high as 1 in 133-1000 due to workforce & resource constraints. Surgery is not enough. #SafeSurgery is needed. wfsahq.org/resources/workfor… @wfsaorg #WHA76 #GlobalSurgeryDay #GSD2023

Dear Rising PGY1 (#7) Your success does not have to come at the expense of others. Quite the opposite, INTERDEPENDENCY can be a true asset during training Appreciating the contributions of others opens up an entirely different potential for collective achievements #MedTwitter

Nothing screams "inequity" as much as a non-refundable submission fee *per* abstract only to be *considered.* Conference costs–from travels to & accommodation in big cities to substantial registration fees–are already prohibitive for many. Why add ANOTHER financial barrier?
