Blessed to be a part of the Jefferson surgery family. More grateful than ever to be a physician trying to be better every day. This recognition is owed to my amazing wife, who tackled Hodgkin’s Lymphoma during the past 8 months. We have so many people to thank. @JEFFsurgery

Julia Jacob, MD shares an interesting approach to the radiologist workforce shortage with the additional training of rad techs into radiology extenders. #QSI2024 Would you try radiology extenders at your institution?🤔
