A few weeks ago our very own Dr. Hou, PGY-3 gave an excellent grand rounds on the history of medicine and surgery.

His talk was an expansive overview on the contributions and findings in medicine that got us to where we are today. Not only did he educate us on the history of our ever evolving practice, but he also highlighted the importance of our current generation in writing the future of this field.

Thank you, Dr. Hou for the awesome grand rounds!! 🙌

Dr. Ipek Sapci, one of our chiefs, and soon to be colorectal 💩✨ fellow at Cleveland Clinic gave an excellent grand rounds a few weeks ago.

Centered around the unfortunate trend of rising colorectal cancer diagnoses in younger populations, she investigated potential causes. She highlighted the importance of healthy eating habits, and the benefits of screening tests. Her passion for the subject was contagious, and many of us left her talk feeling empowered as surgeons to lead the charge when it comes to preventing and fighting colorectal cancers.

Thank you, Dr. Sapci, for the wonderful talk! 🙌

Last month, UICOMP graduate, Dr. Tyler Evans, gave a fantastic grand rounds.
Dr. Evans is a double board certified plastics and hand surgeon. We participated in an insightful discussion on complex hand injuries, innovative surgical repairs, fascinating cases, and outcomes. He also taught us practical pearls on how we as residents on trauma can optimize early care for hand trauma patients. Grateful for Dr. Evans and all he does for the community and our patients 🙌

A few weeks ago Dr. Agarwal, PGY-3 gave a grand rounds presentation joining her past education in design engineering with her passion for surgery.

Dr. Agarwal discussed the intersections between the two and the lessons we can apply from engineering into our work as physicians. She highlighted the importance of thinking outside the box and how important creativity is to drive innovation inside and outside of the OR.

Thank you for the wonderful and insightful presentation, Dr. Agarwal! 👏👏👏
