.#STSAdvocacy2025 participants Dr. Headrick and Dr. @LevinFairchild made the rounds speaking to @SenMullin @SenatorCollins @SenatorHagerty and @MarshaBlackburn about the importance of early lung cancer screening
Check out the latest episode from the #ThinkingThoracic podcast!! At #STS2025, Erin Gillaspie, Hari Keshava, Jane Yanagawa & I talk about wedge vs segment and considerations for sublobar resection for #lungcancer: thinkingthoracic.podbean.com/e/leading-scie…
@ErinGillaspie T4: Prioritize your needs from wants, set realistic goals and show yourself grace. #CTCareers
CT - You gotta take care of you. We have dedicated our lives to taking care of others. It’s ok to step away and take care of you. #CTCareers @ErinGillaspie @rvanharen @PaulLinsky
@ErinGillaspie @STS_CTsurgery T3: Mentors, peers from training, and colleagues at work are all helpful resources. It helps to have a healthy work environment where the culture is supportive. #CTCareers
T4 Check out STS's podcast, The Resilient Surgeon, and hear from the most influential and insightful experts in personal wellness. Listen here. bit.ly/4gZeevt #CTCareers
T4 I like the broad description of wellness. I think you have to figure out what makes you happy and do everything you can to prioritize it #CTCareers
@PaulLinsky @Cerf_MD Nice - what sports are you coaching? #ctcareers We are starting lacrosse season on Sunday, time to dust off the whistle
T3 - I followed the example of @Cerf_MD and have always tried to coach one of my kids sports teams each season. It forces me into their world and out of the hospital. #CTCareers
T3 - this is a contact sport, that is very intertwined with daily life. Every high performing athlete in a contact sport has a coach. Should absolutely have one in my opinion. Life coaches are great. Worth it. #CTCareers
@ErinGillaspie T2: I try to refocus my energy on family, spend some time outdoors, or even have a few moments to myself to reflect and re-center. Also, it helps to talk about it and receive feedback or validation. #CTCareers
I have to put in a plug for the amazing blogs, podcasts and other resources from @STS_CTsurgery on the Early Careers website at sts.org/early-career-h…. #CTCareers
