Office hours. Patient: “You look pretty young for a surgeon.” Me: “Thanks, you can’t see my grey hair under my scrub cap.” Pt: “So you’ve done a lot of these surgeries?” Me: “Plenty. Maybe one, two a week.” (Confidently takes a sip of coffee from the mug @DanHan just sent him)

What a journey it’s been. Somehow it still feels like this is only the beginning, and I can’t wait for what’s in store. Thank you to the incredible village of friends, family, and mentors who got me through medical school. Onto Ohio!

Happy #MatchDay! ✉️🎉 Read below for a message from the SVS. #VascSurg #NextGenVascular #MatchWeek #Match2026

So excited to share that I’ve matched at the Cleveland Clinic (@CCFVascSurg). Grateful for everyone that has been a part of my journey these last five years. Can’t wait for the next chapter! #Match2026 @NextGenVascular @RWJMS

Thrilled to announce we Matched @DrexelMedicine’s Pooja Balar into our Integrated Vascular Surgery Residency at @RutgersU @RWJMS! Congrats to Pooja and the rest of her future vascular surgeons colleagues in #VascularMatch2026 #VascMatch2026 #Match2026

The Department of Surgery at the Medical College of Georgia is proud to announce ACGME accreditation of our new Integrated Vascular Surgery Residency Program.

This program offers comprehensive training in open and endovascular surgery within a collaborative academic medical center committed to surgical excellence, education, and innovation. For application information and inquiries, please contact: VASCULAR_RESIDENCY@augusta.edu More details and application instructions coming soon — stay tuned!

32’F at the start line - but it’s not the Big Warm, it’s the @RutgersU Big Chill 5K, baby! Another great morning with the @RWJMS Division of Vascular Surgery, working hard in and out of the hospital. A great event, supporting RU students and donating toys to local kids in need.

Grateful to present our research at @VascularEVS from my time at @nyu_vascsurgery on robotic first rib resection for thoracic outlet syndrome. Grateful for the mentorship and support that made this work possible! @KatherineTeter @CaronRockman @VascularSVS @VascularOnline #EVS2025

Should be a good discussion tomorrow about shepherding your research from idea to publication. Register via the link below!

Can’t wait to join everyone at @EndovascularNY in a couple short months. Discussion of aortic cases is second to none. (And the prizes aren’t bad either). Would highly recommend vascular trainees reserve a spot and secure a scholarship ASAP! @FutureVascSurgn @VessVsig

After 5 years of @RWJMS #vascular residency, w/ 2 years as Chief, we celebrated the graduation of outstanding surgeon, Kristen Lee. She’ll be missed in the team room, but she won’t be far as she (after well deserved vacay) operates down the road for the Cardiovascular Care Group

Our PGY4 @RWJMS resident @Chamiltonians presents our workflow for in-situ laser fenestration in complex aortic disease at #VAM2025. Great discussion about how and when to use this technique vs PMEG or TAMBE. (W/ many thanks to all who helped us refine our technique over the yrs)

Many thanks to @BIDMCVascular’s Dr Schermerhorn for braving travel chaos to join us as our 2025 Rosenberg distinguished lecturer at @RWJMS! Not only a phenomenal aortic surgeon, but a mentor to our own Dr Jen Li. (Alas it’s 3 days too late for the “May the FORS be with you” joke)

Register for tonight’s panel to hear from experts like @vjcollins on how to Match into your top vascular surgery integrated residency program. Wait, where did she Match again? 🤔

Please share the fellows course flyer that is attached. The echo boards in close proximity to the Cors/Vasc at the Shore Fellows Course and we have added an hour of echo board review to help. Register now, Scholarships available, corsattheshore.com/fellows/
