We're CT surgery residents who built what we wished we had for board prep. I'm the one building this, so if anything breaks or you have ideas, shoot me a message: tsrawebapp@gmail.com 4/4

Podcast playlists for the drive in, Anki-style flashcards for indications & guidelines, and 1000+ QBank questions with detailed explanations. It tracks your weak areas and recommends what to review next. More questions coming soon. 3/4

The TSRA app is now available on iOS. No more carrying six thick textbooks — everything's on my phone now. Search any topic in clinic and pull up the chapter instantly. 1/4 🧵 apps.apple.com/us/app/tsra-ap…

TSRA WebApp Update: We have added General Thoracic and Critical Care courses, consolidating textbook chapters, podcasts, and quizzes into one view. tsraweb.com Premium Membership is $50/year. Join now to lock in this rate before the 2026 price increase. The upcoming Indications and Guidelines book will be included for members later this year. #TSRA #ThoracicSurgery #MedEd

I had a great time while presenting our novel Light-Pipe FRESH 3D bioprinting technology to the scientific community at #TERMIS2024. Many thanks to the organizers @nasimannabi and @cosgriffhernan, and also to my PI @RegenBio for the opportunity to share our research.

Sign up to be an author for our next publication "Indications and Guidelines in Cardiothoracic Surgery"! We are looking for a few more trainee/faculty author pairs. More information: docs.google.com/document/d/1st… Chapter Sign-Ups: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… Trainee authors must be in an ACGME cardiothoracic/general surgery program.
