📸✨ Annual Team Tradition at Larkin General Surgery Residency Program ✨📸

Every year, right after the ABSITE exam, we gather for our much-anticipated group picture with our beloved Program Director, Dr. Mohammad Masri. This tradition is not just about updating our website and social media — it’s a rare and cherished moment to have the entire team together, as our busy schedules make it nearly impossible otherwise.

It’s a chance to pause, celebrate our unity, and create lasting memories as a program. Moments like these remind us of the incredible camaraderie and teamwork that define our residency family.

🙌 Congratulations to all our residents for finishing the ABSITE exam! Your dedication and hard work inspire us daily, and we have no doubt you will dominate and excel as always.

Here’s to a fantastic start to 2025 and another year of growth, learning, and success! 🎉💪

None of this would have been possible without our great program coordinator, Mrs. Kelly Rizo. Thanks for all the work you do daily for our program!
