Hard to put into words what this past year with the @ASCO #LDP program Class'24-25 has meant. Deep growth, reflection on leadership, renewed purpose, life-changing lessons—and lifelong friendships. @IbiayiMD @BHenickMD #ManaliBhave #TiffanyTraina Thanks to @ASCO's deep…
It was my pleasure and a true honor. ❤️

You did an amazing job representing the @asco LDP team @fumikochino! I’ve loved serving as your mentor & learning from each of you this year. @MKnoll_MD @OncElias @JadChahoud #ASCO25
Honored to present today before #ASCO25 to the @ASCO Board of Directors on behalf of our 2024-2025 Leadership Development Program group on the topic of AI in Oncology. I have been honored to learn with this phenomenal team of oncologists. @MKnoll_MD @OncElias @JadChahoud 🙏
There is much truth in this.
In a distracted world, the most underrated leadership skill is listening. 144 studies, 155k people: Good listeners have deeper bonds and better results. We feel valued, and they get smarter. Great leaders are devoted learners. A key to learning is to listen more than you talk.
There are some amazing candidates on the ballot this year. @ASCO members - vote now do you don’t forget!

All is well here in Gainesville @UFHealth & @UFHealthCancer. Thinking of our surrounding communities that didn’t fare as well from #HurricaneMilton.

We're closely monitoring Hurricane Milton, expected to hit Florida’s west-central coast Wed evening, Oct. 9. UF Health hospitals & clinics remain open with some exceptions. Stay informed: ufhealth.org/emergency-anno…
The UF Southwest Recreation Center will open as a shelter on Wednesday, 10/9 at 1 p.m. for UF students, faculty and staff, and their families. Community members are encouraged to head to the shelter before conditions worsen.
