Feeling incredibly grateful to so many mentors and supporters. I matched integrated cardiothoracic surgery at Cedars-Sinai Cardiothoracic Surgery Residency. A huge accomplishment, but not just for me- Tyler Wallen Kristen Conrad, DO Proud Jeff Jacobs and so many more made this possible. I’ll work to make them proud!

An amazing accomplishment by Cedars-Sinai Comprehensive Transplant Center and Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai teams completed 616 transplants. These organ transplants would not be possible without the lifesaving gifts of organ donors. cedars-sinai.org/newsroom/cedar…

If you were wondering how a 4L donor lung can possibly be placed through a 6cm incision: gentle pressure + suction applied to the chest can do a lot! The #lung is a tremendous organ! Robotic lung transplant = smaller incision and faster recovery #transplant The ISHLT Cedars-Sinai
