I wrote something for @AnnalsofSurgery.
About my high-risk pregnancy during training & about the institutional support that saved me — and why every trainee deserves it.

My name is actually Dr Anne Kroman. My father's name is James. He is very proud. However, he is not a physician and was not involved in the actual implant. I'm all for family inclusion, however sometimes us female physicians do get to do fun incredible things too!!

The hardest lessons after training aren’t always in the OR or clinic.
🙏 I wrote this essay for anyone navigating their first year as an attending.

The demanding nature of CT surgery has undeniable implications for family life and relationships. But those implications aren’t all negative! Grateful for this work highlighting the positive benefits of having a CTSurgeon Mom.

Oh you’re going to a teaching hospital in July? Well get ready…
for the most compassionate care from extremely empathetic interns along with their vigilant supervising attendings. Hope you like open ended questions and doctors listening to you bc you’re gonna drown in it.
Ammu V. Alvarez, MD retweeted
Medical interns will be starting their new careers this week. I think it's important for the public to know a few things about our new colleagues:
1) In teaching hospitals, we work as a team; interns ARE physicians who learn by watching, then doing, with graduated autonomy.
