@Alex_Kantor31 During this past I6 cycle the 75th percentile for total research productivity including abstracts, presentations, publications was close to 40 🤯. I anticipate that this will continue to increase each year.

What does academic productivity look like in matched applicants to thoracic surgery residency & fellowship? Here are the numbers! #AATS2025

One week s/p #Match2025 and we're still so excited for all the future surgeons! 🫀🫁 We wanted to highlight our AMAZING TSMA leadership team members who matched🥳 We are so proud to have you as part of the TSMA team, and wish you all the best in this next chapter!

If the medical student from Italy saw this a few years ago, he’d hardly believe in his eyes! From dreaming of the operating room to being walked through a major case—every sacrifice, every long night, every moment of doubt was worth it. To all international medical graduates out there: keep pushing, don’t stop believing. Your moment will come! 🇮🇹🇺🇸 #IMG #Match2025
