As a Trauma Surgeon and survivor of #GunViolence I cannot believe the audacity of the @NRA to make such a divisive statement. We take care of these patients everyday. Where are you when I’m having to tell all those families their loved one has died. @DocsDemand #Docs4GunSense

Clinicians see firsthand where policy lands. Yet the people who manage those consequences rarely hold the power that creates them. @kavitapmd and I wrote in @USATODAY about why more clinicians should consider running for office, at every level and in every party.

Strong action to prevent gun violence works. Baltimore proved it. As our chair @josephsakran shared in the Times, Baltimore’s leaders fought back when ghost guns flooded the city. Brady was part of the team that took the gun industry to court. We won. nytimes.com/2026/09/08/opini…

An obscure academic just put out a new working paper on American gun ownership that will shape the gun debate, including an imminent Supreme Court case on whether states can ban assault weapons. It deserves more scrutiny than it's going to get. Some thoughts. 🧵

September is #OvarianCancerAwarenessMonth. With no effective screening test for ovarian cancer, prevention remains critical. Two articles in JACS examine opportunistic salpingectomy and the potential for cross-specialty collaboration to expand prevention. Read “A Role for General Surgery in Saving Lives from Ovarian Cancer” by @JosephSakran and colleagues: ovid.com/10.1097/XCS.0000000… And the invited commentary, “Opportunistic Salpingectomy: A Call to Implementation Science Arms to Prevent Ovarian Cancer,” by Drs @AndreaHagemann and Mutch: ovid.com/10.1097/XCS.0000000…

Hoy recuerdo mi primer curso de Politrauma de la @FSFB_Salud y @HopkinsMedicine @hopkinssurgery en 2019! Y hoy los invito a no perderse este 2026 este grandioso evento académico, disruptivo, interactivo y práctico! Con la participación presencial de ponentes de talla mundial como @JosephSakran ! Save the Date! @pferrada1 @SWexner @CiruAndes2 @AmCollSurgeons @TomVargheseJr

Congrats, @AbdulElSayed! 🎉 You ran against corporate money and powerful lobbying interests — and won anyway. That’s not luck, that’s conviction. Proud of you for proving you don’t have to sell out to show up.

Hi @AIPAC how are you feeling this morning?

Abdul is a Rhodes scholar, public health administrator and expert, and brilliant politician. What, other than his identity and opposition to a blank check for Israel (shared by most voters), are you worried about?

They spent $60 million to stop one guy. @AbdulElSayed won anyway. Money doesn’t win elections. People do.

As a fellow physician, I don't say this lightly: @AbdulElSayed gets health policy in a way most senators never will. If you're in MI, primary is tomorrow (8/4) — vote like your health depends on it. 🩺🗳️ #MISen #VoteForHealth

“I know what a gunshot wound does to a windpipe because it happened to mine. So when I say that a new round of federal deregulation could cost lives, I am not speaking from a policy brief,” writes @JosephSakran in #GlobeIdeas. trib.al/NT2PESK

Brady’s Chair, @josephsakran is loudly speaking this truth: Americans will die because our leaders are gutting gun safety regulations. And we must all act. Joe knows the toll of gun violence from his own shooting and from the patients he cares for daily. bostonglobe.com/2026/07/23/o…

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is eliminating more than 3 dozen federal firearms regulations and by its own admission some of the changes could result in harm, “including potential mass casualty events.”-@JosephSakran bostonglobe.com/2026/07/23/o…

I’m proud to support Dr. @AbdulElSayed for U.S. Senate. As a fellow physician who’s had the privilege of knowing him personally, I’ve seen his commitment to public health and to making government work for people. If you’re in Michigan, I encourage you to vote for him. 🩺🇺🇸

So proud of our past @HopkinsTrauma @hopkinssurgery fellow @CMTorres_MD on this paper about whole blood w/ @Dj53Jenkins & @JosephSakran in @JAMASurgery

Crisanto Torres, MD, MPH, and Jamie Coleman, MD, discussed how whole blood has comparable safety to component therapy and offers practical advantages for emergency teams, including simplified logistics and reduced transfusion requirements. 🎧 Listen now: ja.ma/4wGdpQE
