Join the fourth installment of the STS/SCA Webinar Series: Across the Drapes. Leaders in both surgery and anesthesiology will discuss preoperative and intraoperative management of Low Ejection Fraction (EF) CABG and its complications, with the goal of optimizing intraoperative management between surgeons and anesthesiologists.
Cardiothoracic surgery remains one of the most demanding fields in medicine. Promotion—whether to associate professor, division chief, or other leadership roles—is highly competitive. Read how natural leaders can elevate teams, drive innovation, and improve systems.
As early-career thoracic surgeons, attending the STS 2026 Annual Meeting in New Orleans was an energizing and transformative experience.
