Our very own Tara van Veen presenting work AAST #AAST2023 this past week with her work on outcomes for NSTI and obesity based on BMI stratification. Kudos! InovaFFXTrauma1

Now that U-M are National Champions, it seems like a good day to point out that the blue and yellow colors for the buttons on the Bovie were (allegedly) picked by William Bovie as an homage to U-M, where he got his bachelor’s degree in 1905. 🧐

Excellent presentations by Tara van Veen with Inova Surgery Residents EAST. Way to represent InovaFFXTrauma1! #EAST2024

Today Tara van Veen set up a wet lab with cadavers for all things Cardiothoracic. We were able to perform VATS, mobilize the lung, view the anatomy, resect, and perform exposure procedures and simulations in our state of the art ASTEC facility.
