You might insert @TedLasso ‘s opinion on practice, a nice reversal of a famous nba rant on practice. It’s important to practice with humility and purpose.pic.twitter.com/gozl4cyKI2

The commentary includes ideas put forth by @NBA champion @Giannis_An34 and @AATSHQ Past President @MarcMoon_AATS, applicable to all trainees!

Our commentary builds upon these conclusions & extends these concepts to all members of a training program. A program with a culture of excellence and camaredie must be shaped by its faculty leaders to impact the behavior of all its members:  https://www.jtcvs.org/article/S0022-5223(21)01276-9/fulltext  … #MedEd #tssmnpic.twitter.com/aVEHaoatsC

All trainees should read this @AATSJournals JTCVS expert opinion by Dr. Michael Pasque from @WashU_CT outlining keys to success in #CTSurgery training. Behavior ultimately determines the outcome of one’s training! So many pearls of wisdom:  https://www.jtcvs.org/article/S0022-5223(21)01009-6/fulltext  … #MedEd #tssmnpic.twitter.com/6VFuP9KuOt
