And with that, my #acscc24 is done. Awesome to attend with my mini me surgeon in the making for her first conference and check in with my buddies!

Wonderful Visiting Professor day with ⁦Yolonda L. Colson MD, PhD⁩ laying the roadmap for surgeon scientist success. Ending the night with a lovely dinner complete with our ⁦Stanford Cardiothoracic Surgery⁩ cool “disco” 🎤! 🤣

Late in posting but so honored to have met THE Dr Nuss! I’ve never met someone who has a NAMED surgery that I actually perform today. First #CWIG conference hanging with all my #pectus friends!@stanfordctsurgery

We are only ONE MONTH away from the deadline for application to the ABCTS/STS pipeline program. Yesterday, TSMA/ABCTS hosted a fantastic webinar discussing this incredible opportunity. 25+ exceptional medical students and surgical residents were in attendance.

Really nice stepwise approach to an uncommon scenario that should be reviewed regularly. Was just Temple University with Cheri Erkman who ran a masterful multi team exercise in their sim lab for this.

Such amazing work done by ABCTS and so much to look forward to in 2025. They sky's the limit!

Stanford's Division of Thoracic Surgery recently earned The Society of Thoracic Surgeons 3-star 🌟🌟🌟 rating for esophagectomy. This rating denotes the highest category of quality, placing the division among the nation's top centers for esophagectomy. Congrats to the team! ow.ly/3yGt50UnFLH

Who does your surgery matters (in more ways than one). Eric Grogan looking at a similar trend for periop outcomes.

This is clearly a high quality marker…we indeed have the BEST break room!

No better way to start #ELCC25 than Dr. Leah Backhus MD MPH FACS discussing mediastinal re-staging in patients treated with neoadjuvant chemo plus IO. Tissue is the issue…
