Great talk today by @charlesloganmd @NM_Lung at the Western Thoracic on the opportunity for surgeons to help improve transitions of care for adjuvant treatment after lung cancer surgery. A sign of a good talk is the line at the mic to continue the discussion! #tssmn #wtsa2022

This past summer, I filmed something for @NorthwesternMed that you can see on ABC Nightline, 11:35pm March 3. If you’re not up late, record it, because you won’t want to miss it.

I couldn't sleep! Too much coffee or maybe just looking forward to tonight's ISQIC Advisory Committee meeting. Lots of smart people (I'm dumbest) in one (virtual) room planning how to improve surgical care for our Illinois pts! @ISQIC1 @NU_SOQIC @kbilimoria @NMSurgery @purplesurg

Straight to the floor for me. Priority order in our household: baby > mom > older kids > dogs > kids electronics > dad. 😥

You're lucky enough to get the side chair?? I'd be crammed into one of those little front chairs, or laying across the top of the cubbies. 🤣

Also, it’s ok to do the case yourself even if you have a trainee with you. Just be honest with them up front and set the expectations. #CTCareers

T4 #ctcareers. Even if you are in teaching institution, I would try and do as many cases on your own early on (not with trainees). You need to build up your skill as an attending. Hard to be a great teacher your first year or two in practice.

T4. Don’t try to know everything just because you are an attending. Asking for help is a sign of strength and makes your partners and the rest of the hospital community trust you more. #CTCareers

T2) I think a lot of us fight this urge to stay at the hospital until 7 or 8 because anything less feels wrong. You will@have plenty of these days in the future, but when you start and have time, use it wisely. It’s ok to leave the hospital when it’s light outside! #CTCareers

T1) I took about 4 hours off and really don’t recommend that approach. You need time to clear your head and acknowledge the transition in a meaningful way. Break up the marathon! #CTCareers

T4: I think this is really crucial. You have to work through the stages of grieving from peer review, but the end result is better science and more success with funding.
Also don’t be afraid to apply for grants that seem a bit out of reach. The feedback you get can help tremendously with fine tuning your research and getting funded down the line. #CTCareers

T2: Some of our days are routinely busier than others. Planning ahead and reserving time on those not so busy days to focus on research and orchestrate these with essential research members to be more efficient. #ctcareers

T2: People say ‘Only you can protect your time’, but what strategies are actually effective to make time for research? #CTCareers

T2- it’s tough. People think if not in OR, or clinic, that you’re ‘free’. Sometimes just need to tell others you’re unavailable except emergencies for an hour block, and do your best to stick to a schedule. Sched meetings with a collaborator and stick to it. #CTCareers

T2 - Its okay to hide. If you're not going to get any thing done in your office then find another space when you have a valuable chunk of time. #CTCareers

T2: I was only being partly facetious.
One potential model is to do clinical and research weeks or weeks without call in order to maximize research productivity on off-call weeks.
Needs buy-in from whole group and different mentality of practice

T2: avoid being on call ?

Support from your colleagues is key! 👍🏻. Goes both ways too- make sure you support their interests as well! #CTCareers

T2: I think that having open communication with your partners about what days/meetings are critical to your research is key. My partners have covered emergencies for me to go to a lab meetings and I've done the same for them. #CTCareers

I agree @biniamkidaneMD mentorship and leadership in your group is key. If research productivity is not valued by your group it is a big hill to climb. You need to negotiate this up front before signing your contract #CTCareers.
