In 1912, Teddy Roosevelt was shot in chest while giving a speech in Milwaukee. He was brought to Northwestern to be taken care of by the chair, Dr John B Murphy (Murphy’s sign). We now have his original chest X-ray & patient register. Murphy exercised good non-operative judgment!

One of the main findings here, backed up by quantitative and qualitative results, is that med students are not taking enough call on their clerkship and getting a realistic experience on which to pick a career specialty. That leads to wellbeing issues when they become residents.

Let me clarify as some comments bother me: our students are not lazy or weak. They did a lot to get to where they are already. They didn’t see value in call (or getting realistic experience). Much of that is on us for not making it a great experience & explaining why it is needed

Karl Bilimoria

@kbilimoria

We were told by deans, vice deans, chairs and PDs that this is largely driven by med student responses on the LCME survey. Students didn’t like call and they said so on the survey, so call was reduced/eliminated to be responsive (and also to get better survey scores).

Last #ASC2020 prep session with the residents. Since it was a Friday at 4pm, I stole a page from @JohnBirkmeyer ’s and @jdimick1 ’s epic lab meetings and did it over beers. It was better that way. @AcademicSurgery @NMSurgery

Another “last”: a wonderful evening celebrating our research fellows in our backyard. They arrived early in the pandemic and adapted to the dramatic changes in how the world and our fellowship program worked. And they thrived with support from a great team of mentors and staff!💪

The @IU_Surgery Christmas on-call teams across our hospitals were all working hard and in a jolly mood! We brought some sugary treats as a small token of how much we appreciate them and recognize the time away from their families and friends is always hard. Happy holidays!

It worked! Our 21-component strategy to catalyze improvement in surgical quality across 56 Illinois hospitals resulted in 1. Better adherence to best practices 2. Improvement in culture of safety 3. And now - postop outcomes! So proud of this team & friends across the state!

We need more of this — physicians who are doing real clinical work, or who are COVID-consumed operational leaders, being the ones speaking about the crisis. Tired of uninvolved physician pundits commenting nonstop from the sidelines (more like bleachers or concession stand)

Thank you @JAMA_current for publishing our study on bullying in surgical residency! Bullying was commonly reported, but results suggest surgical training can be improved and continued focus on resident wellness is critical. @AmCollSurgeons #TheSecondTrial

We are still looking for another surgical resident interested in basic / translational surgical oncology research starting July 2021 for our 2-year @NMSurgery NIH NCI T32 training grant. @AcademicSurgery @RASACS @APDSurgery DM if interested.

Research

The Department of Surgery has a long tradition of vigorous support of scientific investigation leading to new knowledge that may be applied to surgical treatment of disease.

DO NOT troll a medical student through a fake account. We have no tolerance for that. Civil discussion is needed. This is not. I encourage everyone to block this fake, cowardly account and report it to Twitter.
