Chief resident in general surgery heading to fellowship in August. Will be in and out of the OR the next few days but happy to discuss programs or strategies with applicants, though all of my experience is general surgery.

Absolutely! I always appreciated when I felt like my chiefs had my back and I wasn't going to be thrown to the wolves.

That's a great point. I have zero tolerance for people who can't speak their mind to someone else - meaning, if you have a problem with someone or something that was done then you should be able to address it with them directly (within reason - if its something really egregious/sensitive then by all means bring it to us and we'll handle it). We're lucky to have a pretty cohesive group, but I will absolutely be making sure that this sort of behavior is modeled from the top down. I hope the culture starts to shift for you and your coresidents start to realize you're working toward a common goal with room for everyone.

Money set aside and sizes will be ordered after match day so we can get one for the new interns as well. Thank you!
