@NwigweViemma with a 2nd presentation at #ACSCC2024! We objectively evaluated AI versus human-generated composite narrative for surgery clerkship students.

TLDR - using the QuAL score, AI was non-inferior to human-generated composites, and often times was superior!

Are you thinking about doing a surg ed fellowship?

What will you be expected to do? How will you be supported? How are programs different?

We explore the answers to these questions in the first study looking at the current fellowships in the U.S.

Lets users go from an initial "help me create narrative feedback" to a draft narrative seen below, just by answering a few question and having a natural conversation with the tool.

A project designed to improve the care of our complex vascular pts @ColumbiaSurgery.

Collaborating w/ @ColumbiaMed, we discussed common acute & chronic medical issues that arise pre/post-op and created specific guidelines on when we should be involving our medicine colleagues

In residency, there will be tough days and family/life emergencies will arise. Make sure you choose the people to surround yourself with wisely. I am thankful everyday for my coresidents, but today I’m a little extra thankful #whycolumbiasurgery #Match2022 @ColumbiaSurgery
