What happens if You hold the Power of #equity in access to knowledge ? Another article made open access in 24hrs, while reviewers were paid a small fee which they chose to donate to article & support children’s surgery with. How does this make you feel? #GlobalSurgery jogs.one

Kicking off @facs.org #ACSLAS25 with powerful words from Dean Elster on what it truly means to “Lead Change.”

A reminder that leadership in surgery goes beyond the OR — it’s about vision, courage, and the commitment to shape a better future for our patients, teams, and profession.
