This local Prometric Global site is now ghosting examinees. Students for today were sent a cancellation email 1 hr! before they were supposed to present for exam. Those of us with exams scheduled for tomorrow cannot reach anyone by phone and have received no contact. UNACCEPTABLE

# of employees in system has NOTHING to do with # of ICU trained staff or available hospital beds. It is reductive thinking, and irresponsible of Reeves to not understand. We had -31 beds at UMMC this week. That means that we are FULL+. You have a heart attack? No tertiary bed.

Another great UMMC Surgery UMMC Pediatric Surgery talk - this one from @Savanna15881859 for our UMMC Pediatrics Residency colleagues on strategies to screen for safe gun storage practices and prevent pediatric firearm injury. Building on work from Taylor Shaw, Emily Evans Grenn (she/her), and others here at The University of Mississippi Medical Center.

Let this sink in—2 people from UPENN won the #NobelPrize, but while the male researcher was elevated to a full Professor, the female researcher is Adjunct professor & told she was “not of faculty quality”. Penn & Penn Medicine has never apologized publicly to Katalin Kariko. Sexist?

Incredibly proud of my colleague and friend Sarah Cottrell-Cumber for the patients she has impacted and the perspective she adds to the surgical and medical community.

"Providers who treat patients for perinatal/postnatal mental health concerns can contact CHAMP for Moms at 601-984-2080. The call line is for non-urgent matters and offers peer-to-peer consultation for providers as well as access to resources and referral options.."

Wonderful work out of IU School of Medicine Department of Surgery ! Looking forward to having these resources in the Toolkit for Reproductive Rights compiled easily for access and reference to better serve our patients. Job well done! pedsurglibrary.com/apsa/view/PedS…

Wrapping up a wonderful weekend at #AAP2023 and a great first time attending! Lots of amazing work being done in the Section on Surgery and beyond, particularly in advocacy. 10/10 conference experience, even if innocent bystander photography skills 0/10 !
