We are excited to announce a workshop with Dr. Leah Backhus, a distinguished Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Stanford Medicine and Chief of Thoracic Surgery at VA Palo Alto. Dr. Backhus is renowned for her expertise in general thoracic surgery, with a special emphasis on thoracic oncology and minimally invasive surgical techniques.
Students will have the opportunity to engage with Dr. Backhus in an intimate fireside chat where she'll share her journey, medical training, and day-to-day experiences as a leading cardiothoracic surgeon. She will discuss her work in complex surgical procedures and her role as an educator. She will also share the latest developments in thoracic surgery and effective communication and decision-making techniques in high-stakes medical scenarios.
