I am holding my breath witnessing @lubitz_carrie’s stunning Assoc4AcademicSurgery presidential address. What more do we need to know that we need a seismic shift in how physician mental health is (or isn’t) prioritized in academic surgery?

Carrie Cunningham just gave the greatest Presidential Address. She taught us invaluable lessons on mental health, depression, substance abuse, and “taking care of yourself.” She is an incredible human being, visionary surgeon & leader. Assoc4AcademicSurgery @lubitz_carrie #ASC2023
