Our leadership has been promising a new “content strategy” to guide our work and solve our budget deficit for nearly a year. But deadlines were missed. And despite the newsroom’s best efforts to be involved in the process, our attempts were in vain. 🧵

For as long as I’ve been a surgeon, I’ve been told that to be successful, one has to be a “triple threat.” But I wish to tell future surgeons to instead “Choose Your Own Threat” - and bring those diverse passions into surgery, even if they’re different jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Have you ever felt that you have not done enough, may be that you are not enough, that you are underserving or that you do not belong? One of the things that we can do to help each other is talk about it. This is the first step to crush impostor syndrome.

In my training, I’ve seen two types of surgeons in how they respond to a member of the team not being fully trained and up to speed.
And I believe this simple difference makes all the difference in what they are able to accomplish in the long term as a team.
