Having a blast at #ASCRS22!! So fun to present my work with @rhhollis and connect with friends. Can’t wait for a lifetime of ASCRS meetings with @hillaryrjohnson and all the rest of the amazing people I’ve met!! – at Tampa, FL
Conferences are great for connecting with residents from other programs! Honored to hear @MarySmithsonMD from @UABSurgery present her important work on racial disparities in colorectal cancer I was lucky enough to meet her at ASC in February and reconnect this week at #ASCRS22!

Thrilled to be presenting @SocSARS on surgical differences in US vs UK. And of course had to brag on our amazing research experience @UABSurgery. Looking forward to the rest of the meeting and the next presentation! – at Nottingham, England
Striking differences in surgical training and research between USA and UK Longer hours but a trade off for being trained and dedicated theatre time for each trainee @SocSARS
