I’m looking to speak to mothers with IBD about their breastfeeding experience. This is for my graduate research project at the UofT, which is looking to develop a supportive tool as an outcome. If you have a lived experience or know someone who does, please send me a DM!
Had a great time in LA at the USC Annual Advanced Endoscopy Colorectal Fellows Master Class with my co-fellow! Great opportunity to meet other North American fellows, and get some hands on experience! @KeckMedUSC – at Los Angeles, CA

General Surgery colleagues - we are conducting a research study about the influence of gender identity on family planning and professional advancement. If you have 10 minutes to complete the survey that would be great! redcap.lawsonresearch.ca/sur…

Four years ago my now husband gifted me a scalpel necklace and told me he would support me through my surgical training. Then 2 years ago we got married and 1 year ago our daughter was born. Balancing surgical training, becoming a wife and becoming a mother have not been easy. – at Calgary, Alberta
I’m so thankful for all the love and support from my colleagues, mentors, friends and family because none of this would be possible without them. – at Calgary, Alberta
But most of all I thank my husband for the unconditional love and support to help me achieve my dreams, and for helping raise the world’s most incredible baby girl. #ilooklikeasurgeon – at Calgary, Alberta
