It was such a pleasure to have Dr. Clouse join us at the @TSVESofficial meeting and give the 2025 Cliff Buckley lecture! What a great talk on Dr. Buckley as well as the amazing work that Dr. Clouse has done in the field of open aortic surgery & tandem carotid lesion research! 👏🏼

It was enlightening to be in NYC @AVIDsymposium. George Berdejo puts on an outstanding vascular lab meeting, part of the annual #VEITHsymposium. Great education. Great discussion.

Important update for PAD care...this provides foundation for evidence-based care that is too often overlooked. Thanks, Dr. Gornik, et al.
🆕 2024 ACC/AHA/Multisociety Guideline for the Management of Lower Extremity PAD provides recommendations to guide clinicians in the Tx of patients with lower extremity PAD across its multiple clinical presentation subsets. bit.ly/3K0ypes #JACC #cvPAD @heatherlgornik

For fellowship, no. For residency, yes. What's really needed is a record of performance that demonstrates discipline, motivation, teamwork, and compassion. There are lots of ways that potential for success can be demonstrated (grades and tests are considerations).
Unpopular opinion? Do I really need your medical school rotation scores when applying for vascular surgery fellowship?

Sad to see you moving on, but ecstatic to see you moving up! You are joining a great group with supportive surgical leadership. You will continue to thrive and will be loved by your Austin patients.
I am so excited to announce that I have accepted my 1st civilian job & I will be joining @UTAustin & @DellMedSchool this summer! I am beyond thankful for my military career & opportunities afforded to me. Looking forward to being a part of this great team! Thank you @pedrogrt!

BTW, @nytimes published front page Sunday edition article on the consequences and causes of “inappropriate” use. This was an interesting find during today’s bookstore browse. Self-proclaimed “leg saver”doctor did 18 procedures in 18 months. – at Seattle, WA
