🔥Hot off the press🔥 “Academic Rank and Productivity Among United States Cardiothoracic Surgeons” ⁦@WTRCollab⁩ sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Career duration, including cumulative research productivity, is an important factor predicting full professor rank, potentially contributing to persistent sex-based disparities in academic CT surgery @WTRCollab @WomenInThoracic @annalsthorsurg authors.elsevier.com/c/1hJ05ovKdSZS

Congratulations to the #WTS 2023 Terumo Aortic Fellowship and Thistlethwaite Scholarship Award Recipients!   Thank you to @edwardslifesciences for sponsoring the 2023 WTS Thistlethwaite Scholarship and @TerumoAortic for sponsoring the 2023 WTS Terumo Aortic Fellowship.

My goal in sharing this experience was to highlight the ongoing need to dispel myths and educate others, as we strive to create a surgical workforce in which we all can feel that we belong. This is an opportunity to change perceptions regarding #TheFaceOfCTSurgery.

Congratulations to our own Dr. Miter for matching @BIDMCSurgery for fellowship! Making us incredibly proud 🙌🏼
