Forever grateful to my mentors and the Penn State MSTP. I am going to be a surgeon-scientist! Blessed to begin training at one of the top general surgery programs in the country. Also cannot wait to operate at the new gorgeous hospital. GO BUCKS! youtube.com/watch?v=Uhz0CZr5…

Proud of @LLUMedSchool MS2 @JordanKlaassen who presented @AHPBA #AHPBA26 on the lack of association between annual 🤖 distal pancreatectomy volume and overall survival despite key differences in patient selection and rates of conversion to open

6 yrs ago I opened my match email and was disappointed. I made the best of it creating lifelong friends, spent time at NCI, and eventually switched residencies. Success isn’t always linear, but I’m so incredibly happy where I am today. Things have a way of working out. #match2026

They say it takes a village, and sometimes, you find yours far from where you began. Born abroad, raised by many hands, and now surrounded by another village of mentors, colleagues, and friends who all feel like family. @AmCollSurgeons #ACSCC25

Surgery is becoming a numbers game. As RVUs dominate priorities, academic surgeons report less time for teaching, research, and mentorship—jeopardizing the next generation. journals.lww.com/annalsofsur…
