reapplying to this
#gensurgmatch2023
Looking forward to this interview season.
Excited to share that my 1st first-author manuscript “Socioeconomic and racial/ethnic disparities in receipt of PC among patients with metastatic HCC” was accepted for publication in JSO 😱
Well, I can officially say I’m done with my interview season. I am so grateful and happy to had the chance to meet so many amazing future colleagues, what a great experience! Next step: certifying my rank list! Lets see what the future holds

Happy to share my 1st first author publication
#medtwitter
! We found that Palliative care (PC) utilization on metastatic HCC patients was low with just 17% & that Hispanic population were significantly less likely to receive PC than non-Hispanic Whites 👇👇
Almost done with post testing our last controls from the MedStudent Pilot on our fresh new GS robotic curriculum! Data is looking promising and I’m excited to share our findings soon🤩

I am no expert in this topic by any means, but this book has answered every question I’ve asked myself during this pre-intern year time in the most easy and concrete way. Thanks for this amazing guide

In Venezuela, the more doses of the vaccine, the more opportunity for corruption. People charging up to 600$ per dose. Every day even more shocked with the lack of humanity of this government.
Today I confirmed once again how privileged and happy I am doing what I love. Excited from what this year holds for us. We survived first day of intern year!!!!
These are fantastic news for so many people, not only in Africa! Venezuela has fought malaria by P. Falciparum for so long! We have so many underreported cases in the Southern region of my country and this brings hope 🇻🇪
#SOSVenezuela
Truly historic! 👏🏽
Breaking News: The WHO approved the first ever malaria vaccine, which could save tens of thousands of children in sub-Saharan Africa. The quest for this vaccine has been underway for a hundred years, a WHO official said, and is a "historic event."
Thanks

The need of consensus on robotic training is indispensable out of the clinical environment, I hope that this could serve as a foundation for an externally validated and universal robotic training curriculum. Thank you for attending, Dr. Sánchez!
👇🏻I couldn’t agree more ⏩ We need to use Inanimate training to fill gaps after Robotic Surgery virtual training. Specially for atraumatic handling and suturing skills. Excellent
