Dear Gen Surg PDs,
@AndresAbreuMD
is an EXCEPTIONAL candidate for a categorical Gen Surg position in ANY academic program. We would be lucky to keep him at
@UTSW_Surgery
and your program should also consider interviewing him.
Kicking off this year’s spotlights is the amazing Andres Abreu! He’s a current research fellow at UTSW, and applying for the General Surgery

Shocking numbers but not surprised at all. In 5y of GenSurg training/practice in Peru,I only prescribed opioids a handful of times. Moved to US and had to quickly learn opioids prescription to meet US”standards” (also learned an absurd amount of medical acronyms..)

How does the US compare to the rest of the world in opioid prescribing after surgery?
