@katiakoelliker crushing her talk @PCSAsurg #pcsa2025 qual data from RCT show a pragmatic support package reduces fatigue/burnout in childbearing trainees. Still have work to do: culture’s tough, thin workforce strains other residents. BUT, well-designed interventions HELP

Thrilled to present 1st of a series of studies evaluating the 1st intervention targeting burnout & well-being in childbearing trainees, an understudied group in need of ⬆️ support. Thx to my superstar team for bringing it to the finish line, w/SarahHalixMD, @thinzarr @MGHSurgery
One of our works was accepted for a podium presentation at the @AcademicSurgery Clinical Congress. I am excited to present the first part of this ongoing work on addressing burnout in postpartum physician trainees!
And... We are going to Vegas!👯♀️

📢Guideline update
CRS+HIPEC listed as a therapeutic option for limited gastric PM (PCI<10) OR a positive peritoneal fluid cytology
nccn.org/professionals/physi…
Congratulations to the investigators of studies that lead to this and thank you for the persistance against this bad disease!
#CYTOCHIP @glehenolivier #BrianBadgwell #YanLi #YutakaYonemura @ChariteBerlin #BeateRau @MDAndersonNews #ChicagoConsensus @kturaga @RENAPE_Network
May lead to more timely referrals around the 🌍 for CRS+HIPEC and use of IPC/PIPAC/NIPEC in addition to systemic chemotherapy for unresectable disease!
But PIPAC after CRS???? 🤔
What's the evidence to support that recommendation?
