I might be 28 years old today but my mom still stands by at the airport to make sure I got through security 🥺
I am so grateful to have been able to ring in my birthday with my family before starting a 2 month stretch of ACS!!
Today I got a window into my life as an intern as I started my SubI in Transplant Surgery at

A living legend/pioneer in transplant surgery and minority organ donation, and a fervent advocate of health equity who also happens to be the most humble, dedicated and admirable mentor - Dr. Clive O. Callender.
Feeling empowered after attending the

Happy Diwali 🪔 This festival of lights symbolizes knowledge, hope, and prosperity. I’m grateful to have celebrated with my family every year and definitely hugged my mom a little tighter when I realized how lucky I am to say that. Feeling blessed ✨
It is an honor to present the inaugural issue of The HUCM Research Digest to the President of the University and one of our most valued mentors, Dr. Wayne Frederick. Thank you for your support. This legacy could not have been started without you!

I’ve made some friends for life in medical school, and today one of them matched at his top choice for ophthalmology! Can’t wait to hit up the halal food trucks when I come to visit you

So good to be home and back to my roots with the legend himself, Dr. Clive O. Callender… and that too 2 weeks before his 86th birthday!

@SurgeryUH
today. Thanks
@aprabhumd1
for hosting this empowering event for junior residents like me! Feeling better equipped for the road ahead 💪🏾
Tonight started with a beautiful sunset and a touching conversation with a patient who finally received a kidney transplant earlier today. There’s so much to learn from the independence that comes with working nights, and I’m so happy I get to do it with this crew!
@SurgeryUH
I had the pleasure of attending
@UMichSurgery
’s Leadership Weekend today. We discussed innovation and personality in the context of academic surgery as well as the impact of Covid on surgical education. It was amazing to connect with surgeons/future surgeons across the country!
Dr. Sharma talks about the uniqueness of
#genetherapies
: “While gene therapies and biologics share some characteristics, gene therapies are significantly more complex in how they are designed for safety and efficacy and in how they are manufactured for scalability and capacity.”
If I’ve been beaming all week, it’s because of my cute little patients and the fact that I’ve seen TEF, gastroschisis, and a Kasai all in my first week on pediatric surgery, AND I have the best team by my side

@RyanMoore_MD
10000% recommend solo backpacking through Thailand! 2 weeks of simple living and immersing myself in all of the food, culture, and nature of this beautiful country was the best way to reset before my next adventure — residency!!
If you told me that one day I would be talking to the Surgeon General about wellness in the pandemic, I wouldn't have believed you... Thanks
@HowardU
for always supporting me and making this unimaginable idea a reality!
I was grateful to participate in a panel discussion with
@HUPrez17
, Dr. Wayne Frederick, and
@HowardU
students to talk about getting back on campus, how COVID has affected our well-being, and how we can better support one another. Listen here ⤵️
Picking my brother up from basketball practice at the place where I fell in love with science 10 yrs ago!! Little did I know I would pursue surgery… I’m so proud of how far I’ve come 🥺 and excited to see where life takes my little brother in 10 yrs!

@DrJashDatta
interviewed me for residency and now we’re already talking about academic development time! Grateful to have found mentorship in young leaders of surgery like him!
After 8+ months of taking care of patients as a resident, I finally took the time to establish healthcare for myself!! It feels so good to put myself first 😌
Wishing all 4th year medical students luck this

Intern year kept us busy so we turned our quarterly debrief to a biannual debrief… and it was absolutely worth the wait! I love the community I have here ❤️

“You’re never going to be this version of yourself again” — this quote holds *extra* true right now as a senior medical student with time for sleep, hobbies and travel who is also trying to figure out adulting/residency… I call her ~transition Trisha~ and I love her! 🤩
Happy 85th birthday to Dr. Callender, a legend and an incredible mentor. I am so grateful for our conversations about surgery, health equity, and life. The way he inspires me to be the best surgeon and advocate I can for my patients is unparalleled!
Happy 85th Birthday to my role-model, mentor, and close friend, Dr. Clive O. Callender
A legendary surgeon who forever changed the field of Transplant Surgery with his crusade against Transplant inequality
But also a most humble man of faith who treats all with compassion (1/4)
Quick rounds/unexpected free afternoon = time to learn what we put our patients through on NIPPV and invasive ventilation

Residency Pro Tip: get a lanyard for your badge that's an easy conversation starter.
My Celtics lanyard has been the centerpiece of so many fun conversations with patients and attendings, especially this time of year 😏
The glow up is real 🙌🏾 Extremely privileged to work with these docs the past 4 years, from our short white coats to our long ones! Presenting the

College of Medicine Class of 2022!
Coronavirus hit the globe at once but what we’re seeing now is a drastic difference in the way countries are recovering. While some are inching closer to normalcy, countries like India are suffering their worst days bc of barriers to proper healthcare. This is so disheartening.
"Now my oxygen level is 50, and the guard at the Balrampur hospital is not letting me enter.”
Such a disturbing picture of COVID overwhelming Indian hospitals. This journalist, finding no help, live tweeted his declining oxygen levels until he died.
Extremely proud of my “little sis” Stef and our girl
@med_trisha
for representing HUCM so well and engaging in meaning conversations about real issues!!!
Two extremely prodigious young physicians!!!
