- Today, after two busy years, I graduated from @JohnsHopkinsSPH and @JHUCarey with my MPH & MBA. I am excited to share that I will move on to pursue a PhD in Health Services Research @ihpmeuoft @UofT, under the mentorship of Dr. @OuzounianMD and Dr. Stephen Fremes @UofTCVSurgery.
- Ecstatic! From 3AM thesis proposal in Belgium in 2016, to months of calculations during internship in Tokyo in 2017 & multiple revisions in Boston in 2018 - now published: A comprehensive view of the current state of #GlobalCardiacSurgery. #CardioTwitter jtcvs.org/#/article/S002…
- I have tweeted actively at more than 30 conferences during the past 5 years. Here are 5 tips on how to power-tweet through your next conference:
- Honoured to have been awarded the #VanierCanada Graduate Scholarship by the Government of Canada to study #access to thoracic aortic surgery in 🇨🇦. Incredibly grateful for the mentorship & support of Dr. @OuzounianMD, Dr. Stephen Fremes, & everyone at @UofTCVsurgery @ihpmeuoft!
Replying to @CIHR_IRSCMeet the 2022 Vanier scholars: vanier.gc.ca/en/scholar_sea… Meet the 2022 Banting postdoctoral researchers: banting.fellowships-bourses.gc.ca/en/2021-2022-e… - Not sure who painted this and what it stands for, but this beautiful artwork on Queen St. & University Ave makes my day every time I pass it. The skyline of Toronto merged with an anatomical heart–almost poetic.
- Today marks the start of #WHA75! This week, @WHO, Ministries of Health, civil society, & more will discuss #GlobalHealth priorities. Missing on agenda? #GlobalSurgery & 🫀 care. Hence, I'll be sharing key points, papers, & developments in #GlobalCardiacSurgery in 75 tweets 👇
- SIX BILLION (!) people lack access to safe, timely, & affordable 🫀 surgical care when needed 🌐. Gaps in #GlobalCardiacSurgery are greatly–although not fully–driven by workforce shortages. 👉 Our overview through different regional lenses @JACCJournals: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
- The world's notion of #GlobalHealth in 2019 unfortunately still relies too much on decisions taken by and in high-income countries, posing barriers for LMIC participation & inclusion. Read my thoughts on the visa conundrum in global health at @bmj_latest:
- Honoured to join @annalsthorsurg Editorial Board as Associate Editor for Digital Media & Digital Scholarship. A big thank you to Dr. @JoChikweMD for the opportunity and her leadership & vision to advance 🌐 #CTSurgery 🫀🫁 scholarship in the digital age. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
- Global Surgery: An Introduction - Short ebook introducing the basics of #GlobalSurgery. @StudentSurgNet issuu.com/dominiquevervo…
- Arrived in US on 4th of July '18 to join @HarvardPGSSC. Now, leaving 🇺🇸 after 3 years, which shaped me in ways I could never imagine. Hopkins & Baltimore—Charm City—you especially stole my heart. But, incredibly excited to reach my new home 🇨🇦 & set the next step in my career.
- Terrific news to see @DrTedros @WHO Progress Report WHA72.11 dedicate 1.5 pages to surgery, anesthesia, and obstetrics. During #WHA72, starting Monday, I will be tweeting #100reasonswhy we need to invest in surgical, anesthesia, and obstetric care. #globalsurgery #surgeryUHC
- Replying to @DGlaucomflecken"Thereby ensuring that only researchers with the most money get to publish an article, which defeats the purpose of having #OpenAccess articles in the first place." – hits the nail on the head...#OpenAccess publication fees are often many $1000s when waivers remain limited, skewing research dissemination towards 💰 institutions & ⬆️ funded researchers. Drs. @ma_xiya & @HloniBookholane + I call for change in publishing power dynamics @GHSPJournal: ghspjournal.org/content/early/…
