Congratulations to Dr. Estelle Viaud-Murat for winning the GME Resident and Fellow award for teamwork! 👏🏼 We celebrated her and the other GME award winners at a luncheon last week.

The teamwork award is granted to just one resident or fellow each year - nominated by one of his or her peers. Estelle was nominated due to her outstanding commitment to supporting her co-residents, ability to foster a collaborative environment, and to approach every challenge with a positive attitude and professionalism.

Her willingness to help others, dedication to teamwork, and uplifting presence have made a tremendous impact on our residency program and on the culture of our department. She exemplifies the qualities we strive to cultivate in our trainees and future leaders. Keep up the amazing work, Dr. Viaud-Murat. 🥳

✨ Dr. Alexander Graf (FPRS Fellow) gave an excellent grand rounds last week on Rhytidectomy! He reviewed the various approaches and techniques to rhytidectomy as well as the historical context to these. It was fascinating to learn about how this procedure has evolved over the years and learn the surgical principles involved in each of these techniques.

Excellent talk, Dr. Graf!!! 👏🏼 it has been such a lovely year having you as our fellow and you will be surely missed!

Thank you to Dr. Yuri Agrawal for visiting us all the way from Denver this week 👏🏼

Dr. Agrawal is a neurotologist and the Chai of the Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Colorado. She gave two incredible talks while she was here at Upstate. The first was on her career path in academic medicine which was very insightful and inspiring. The second detailed her fascinating research about the link between the dementia and the vestibular system. We learned so much from her and had an excellent discussion. 🤓

Congratulations to Dr. Mark Marzouk on his promotion to Professor of Otolaryngology. This achievement is a testament to his years of dedication to our department, his mentorship to others, and his significant contributions to the field of Otolaryngology. Dr. Marzouk currently serves as Program Director for the Otolaryngology Residency. 

In addition to this academic milestone, Dr. Marzouk has earned the highly prestigious Focused Practice Designation (FPD) in Adult Complex Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery (ACTPS). This is a unique, combined certification from the American Board of Surgery (ABS) and the American Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (ABOHNS). It is a distinction reserved for surgeons who maintain a high-volume, dedicated practice and demonstrate a sustained commitment to excellence in endocrine surgery. Earning this designation required not only passing a comprehensive written exam but also proving a track record of superior outcomes in the management of the most complex thyroid and parathyroid conditions.

Dr. Marzouk is a leader in our clinical community and ensures our patients continue to receive the highest level of specialized, multidisciplinary care.  We are fortunate to have such a dedicated and highly skilled colleague among us. Please take a moment to extend your congratulations on these significant professional triumphs.
