The Beat With Joel Dunning Ep. 84: Clinical Team Building and WTS Scholarship

This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning spoke with DuyKhanh P. Ceppa about the new Women in Thoracic Surgery (WTS) fellowship. They discuss the goals of this program, who should apply, and how you can contribute to the funding for this program. They also discuss the advantages of leadership programs and the WTS Annual Meeting. Joel also highlights how to build an incredible and happy team across many fields, the importance of a feedback loop within the team, and how to use the holidays to show appreciation for your coworkers.  

Joel also reviews recent JANS articles on five-year outcomes after bicuspid aortic valve replacement with a novel tissue bioprosthesis, transcatheter valve replacement in severe tricuspid regurgitation, quality of life after transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement, and multicenter validation of the RESECT-90 prediction model for 90-day mortality after lung resection.  

In addition, Joel explores percutaneous femoral venous cannulation, surgical removal of percutaneously placed pulmonary flow reducers, and uniportal non-ntubated VATS thoracic sympathectomy. Before closing, he highlights upcoming events in CT surgery.
