This is wonderful news @AmBdSurg ! Excited for my colleagues!
The ABS is pleased to announce an alternate pathway to ABS certification. Surgeons who have completed an equivalently structured & accredited surgical training program, in comparison to an ACGME-accredited residency program, may be eligible. Learn more: ow.ly/y91T50WNF5p

Yup. That’s what I’m talkin’ about!
It was truly amazing and humbling to be honored by @LondonBreed at SF City Hall by Proclamation of Dr Andre Campbell Day in SF. In addition, I was honored by Proclamations from Comptroller @MaliaCohen, California State Legislature and @GavinNewsom for my service to California,

Well. He is officially dropped. Yes, I have to say that when I left there were quiet tears for all that he has done and all that he will do. And on the way home, quiet tears for this transition. #flyhigh@BostonCollege⁩ (take care of him!)

Ok, my son broke his leg in June. One night in hospital - amount charged by “your provider”: $65,699,50. One night/no MD fees. I freely admit that I don’t understand the finances but we have big problems…Could ANY of my patients pay for this without insurance?
