A recent study by @cwru & @UHhospitals researchers examined why more cancer patients don’t enroll in clinical trials that could potentially save lives. Co-author Dr. Richard Hoehn, surgical oncologist at UH Seidman Cancer Center, explains the findings. news.uhhospitals.org/news-releases/…

Our program director @AmmoriJohn taking 2 of our junior residents through a lap chole in the STAR lab! We’re so lucky to have such a robust simulation curriculum!

Thank you to @IntuitiveSurg for hosting a great training on the DV5 this afternoon for our residents! We love the robot!

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons has awarded @HarringtonHVI a 3-star rating, its highest designation, for CABG quality outcomes. Only 20% of hospitals nationally have a 3-star rating. @UHhospitals @STS_CTsurgery news.uhhospitals.org/news-releases/…

📌In this study, we found that careers of women in CT surgery positively affect their families, which may inspire and attract young women to the field. Further support mechanisms remain in need. @BusraCangutMD @Daniela_Molena @sgworrell @WomenInThoracic annalsthoracicsurgeryshortrep.org/article/S2772-…
