CTSNet Launches Second Annual Resident Video Competition

CTSNet is excited to announce its second annual Resident Video Competition. The competition is open to all CT surgery residents. Qualifying videos will be posted in the CTSNet Residents page and featured in an edition of Pulse, the CTSNet weekly eNewsletter. The winning video will be featured prominently on the CTSNet homepage and Residents page, and will also be included in Pulse; in addition, the winning author will be recognized at a future CTSNet event.

Surgical videos, interviews, roundtable discussions, and creative submissions relevant to residency and/or the cardiothoracic surgery specialty are all welcome. A resident must be the first author on a video for it to be considered, although a resident does not need to be the primary surgeon in operative video submissions.

All submissions for the Resident Video Competition must adhere to CTSNet’s standard Submission Guidelines. Applicants should use the CTSNet Content Submission Form to enter videos into the competition, checking the “Resident Video Competition” box on the form to ensure that the submission is considered for competition purposes.

The deadline for submissions is November 1, 2016.
