With this year’s theme, “The Joy and Privilege of a Surgical Career”, in mind, the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Clinical Congress of 2018 was held in Boston, USA, between the 21st and 25th of October. Bringing together multi-disciplined surgeons, surgery residents, medical students and highly experienced surgical teams from all over the world, this Congress sparked a whirlwind of ideas we believe can serve to benefit patients throughout the world.
Taking this opportunity, The Journal of Visualized Surgery (JOVS) is honored to interview Dr. David T. Cooke, from the University of California, and Davis Health System, who will share with us his insights concerning the diagnosis of cardiothoracic cancer, his patient-centered outcomes research, and his experience of being a cardiothoracic surgeon.
