Another successful showing at SAGES !!!

Mount Sinai had another huge presence at this year's SAGES annual meeting in Philadelphia. Alex Greenstein presented a video of Gastric banding after sleeve gastrectomy. Parissa Tabrizian had a Bariatric poster which was awarded a poster of distinction. The laparoscopy fellows had 2 videos presented over the video loop and an oral presention reviewing Dr. Salky's experience with over 300 resections for Crohn's disease. In addition, Dr. Salky received a lifetime achievement award !!! Wow!!!

Mount Sinai salutes women in medicine like our very own Linda Zhang!!

Last months Inside Mount Sinai Newsletter highlights Women in Medicine who have "helped humanity while blazing a trail." Linda Zhang was commended for her efforts and experiences in international health. She spent time before beginning her surgical residency in Southern Sudan with the International Rescue Committee training locals to administer basic treatments for malaria, pneumonia, and diarrhea. Go Linda !!!!
