Esos 302 graduandos se dividen en 2 escuelas. 120 Vargas y 182 Razzeti. De la escuela Vargas se graduaron 6 cum laude (promedio 17) y 1 magna (promedio 18). O sea 7 graduandos con honores, lo que representa un 6% aproximadamente y los coloca por fuera del percentil 95!
@afoca13
Yo soy de la Vargas, los detalles de por qué hay más con honores en la Razzeti los dejo a criterio personal. Para nosotros el nivel de exigencia fue bastante alto y la educación de calidad! Somos 302 Médicos Cirujanos graduados de la MEJOR universidad del país a su servicio.

Our paper is almost out!! 📄 The episode linked above is a great example of the unknown nature of ChatGPT and other AI chatbots.
We outline a responsible and effective strategy to make healthcare information more accessible.
Stay tuned! 🚀
@afoca13
De la escuela Razzeti los números si son un poco más altos. 24 cum laude, 1 magna y 1 suma (promedio de 19). El total es de 26 graduandos con honores. Es decir el 14% de los graduandos tuvo honores. (Esta escuela históricamente ha teñido números así de altos)

These past couple of days have been an incredible learning experience.
- Struggle is sometimes the best teacher
- It requires a ton (more than one can think) of self-awareness and teamwork to achieve something.
- Kindness and Humility can have an incredible effect on others

Defiendan lo suyo y eduquen a su gente, no dejen colar a esos comunistas. Sólo pido que no les pase lo que les pase lo que le sucedió a mi país. Fuerza bros!
Felicitaciones brother! You are a living example of consistency and resilience. It was an absolute honor to have crossed paths with you in Dallas. Mark my words, next time we cross them will be in the OR 🙏🏼❤️

Tied with Ukraine, Venezuelans represent the largest migrant and refugee crisis in the world. No need of war, just a criminal government.
Despite all the grief, the resilience that my people are showing to have makes me proud 🇻🇪
Llegó el tweet que nunca quise hacer.
He culminado consultas con las plataformas de repuesta de Naciones Unidas para Siria y Ucrania.
Oficial:
Venezuela es la crisis de migrantes y refugiados más grande del mundo (6.8 millones), empatando a Ucrania y superando a Siria (6.6M).
Sólo quiero dedicarme a ejercer mi profesión y progresar. No parece que pido mucho, pero me impresiona como algo tan simple se ve casi imposible de lograr.
Creo que todos los profesionales Venezolanos se sienten así.

Sometimes even scoring high on the boards is not enough for a lot of specialties. But here we are, fighting our way into the system and never giving up on our dreams 💪🏻
Interesting study Joshua!
If we adapt and learn how to use AI technology it will make our jobs better instead of replacing us.
Here is our take for

A long overdue study that attempts to answer the question: Does ChatGPT know enough to be certified by the

to practice surgery independently?
What do you think? Will generative AI tools threaten our jobs as clinical surgeons? As surgeon-educators, can we use GPT-4 for…
1. 📈Hispanic patients had a 22% higher risk of FTR than White non-Hispanic patients. For pancreatic surgery, the risk increased up to 54%
2. 📈Asian patients or patients from other races had a 25% higher risk of FTR compared to WNH. For liver surgery, the risk increased to 49%

Standing ovation for our fantastic residents and faculty members today! We might be biased but we think we have the best residents in the nation and we are so proud to celebrate their hard work.
3. 📉Compared to patients in the lowest-income quartile, those in the high-income quartile experienced a 22% reduced risk of FTR.
4. 📉Private insurance as a primary payer resulted in 24% reduced risk of FTR compared to Medicare beneficiaries.
Mi abuelo fue un hombre de pocas palabras. Uno de los recuerdos más vívidos que tengo de él fue cuando me tragué una moneda (como a los 5 años) y sin decir nada me llevo a la clínica y me hizo unos rayos X, luego sacó monedas del bolsillo y se puso a ver cuál coincidía en tamaño.
I'm trying to write about my experience as a med student in Venezuela for my PS, and my hands started shaking. If they only knew the things we need to overcome to become doctors in our countries, maybe the acceptance rate for

would be higher... ?... just saying
Conclusions and reflections:
1⃣ AI has the potential to improve patient outcomes and bridge disparities.
2⃣I see AI as a tool to enhance my job, not replace it.
3⃣It's our role to learn how to use these tools to make patient care more efficient, humane, and accessible.
