Highly recommended. We have become very good at identifying who is to blame, but much less willing to ask what we can do to make things better. Criticisim is easy, taking responsibility and building something better is much harder. Watch full TED talk: youtu.be/n8V-XiMiV9E

The most dangerous sentence in healthcare may be, “We’ve always done it this way.”
In trauma surgery, I’ve learned that saving lives requires more than expertise. It requires the courage to question, the humility to listen, and a culture where everyone feels safe to speak up

Thank you, Dr. Dib for your mentorship and guidance! It was truly an amazing experience and I am very grateful for the opportunity to be part of building bridges across countries

Grateful to be part of this year’s @AHPBA meeting.

Mentorship was the highlight. From reconnecting with my mentors to seeing our residents and fellows from Boston and Chile presenting at the podium, I could not be more proud @MBRiveraMD @cdsotomayorl

It is a privilege now mentor the next generation of liver and pancreas surgeons. The future is bright, and the bridges between North and Latin America continue to grow.

Full circle moment ⭕️ Having Dr. Bruno Nervi and Carolina Goic as guest speakers on the Chilean Cancer Law at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and sharing this conversation with my MPH classmates, was very special. Thank you, Dr. Rifat Atun for making this possible!
