Surgery resident @UNCSurgery, applying machine learning to colorectal surgery, tweets are my own

Joined January 2017
Overjoyed to have matched at Cleveland Clinic for colorectal fellowship! Forever grateful to @UNCSurgery for training and mentoring me, especially @muneerakapadia
Another outstanding match day for @ClevelandClinic Colorectal Surgery department! 6 up and coming surgeons that will immediately start making a difference in our speciality. @DavidLiskaMD @ScottRSteeleMD @arikanters @MRegueiroMD @EmreGorgunMD @HolubarStefan

The Department of Surgery lost a cherished member of the team this week after a long illness. Katie Iles joined us as a resident in 2018. We grieve her loss and she will be deeply missed, but we will remember her and the contributions she made to our department.
