Looking forward to an exciting session on #endometriosis with subject matter experts!
May 18
Join us for a discussion on the surgical management of colorectal endometriosis and the decision-making involved in treating deep infiltrating disease. Hear from multidisciplinary experts in colorectal surgery and gynecology as they review patient selection, preoperative mapping, and operative techniques, including rectal shaving, discoid excision, and segmental resection. Panelists will also discuss functional outcomes, complication profiles, and risk-mitigation strategies through operative videos and case-based discussions. 🔗 bit.ly/48OEK9M

Incredible read!!
Surgery is a "wicked" environment: feedback is delayed, noisy, and often biased. My essay on why experience doesn't always equal mastery, and how to learn when the feedback loops are broken. leezhaomd.org/post/the-wicke… #MedTwitter #Surgery #MedEd

2 classic quotes on Medical Education: by Dr. William Osler (often described as the Father of Modern Medicine): “Medicine is learned by the bedside, and not in the classroom.” “He who studies medicine without books sails an uncharted sea, but he who studies medicine without patients does not go to sea at all". 🚩Build your knowledge by reading. But it is through the care of our patients that the learning becomes transformative. 🖼️ - Sir William Osler. Oil painting by Harry Herman Salomon #MedEd #MedTwitter
