Had an amazing time at #STS2024 meeting and learning from so many mentors and friends, attending the WTS reception, and getting to give my first oral presentation at a thoracic conference! Excited for the next one!

I’m thrilled to be at #sts2024 and to be one of the Looking to the Future Scholars is a dream come through!

I was not letting Tom Varghese Jr. MD, MS, MBA, FACS, MAMSE 🇺🇸 walk by without getting a selfie 😁. #STS2024

Great mentors are truly hard to come by. Thank you Dr. PJ Spencer for making my dream of becoming a Looking to the Future Scholar a reality 🥹😭🥳🥳. Words are not enough to describe how grateful I am! #STS2024

The STS LTTF experience can not be described with words. Truly a honor to have been a scholar!

Thank you to my LTTF mentor Jeffrey Velotta MD FACS who helped guide me through the meeting and made my experience truly one of a kind.

I went from walking miles to fetch water and taking showers outside early in the mornings (because there were no bathrooms) to standing next to some of my role models at #STS2024 !

Spent a fantastic weekend, full of learning and surrounded by both old and new mentors. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons #STS2024

Check out our TSMA members who connected at #sts2024 ! We're so grateful to help facilitate a strong community among med students to improve programming and increase exposure to CT surgery. Who will we see at the next conference? 👀

The highlight of my #STS2024 experience was having Dr. Jo Chikwe as my #LTTF mentor. Spending time with her at the conference was a rare opportunity I do not take for granted. There are some encounters that change one’s life forever and this was one of those for me🥹😭🥹😭🙏🏾

Just like that #STS2024 is over

I would like to thank The Society of Thoracic Surgeons for the opportunity to be a Looking To The Future #STSscholar

This has been an inspiring weekend, learning, networking, and being mentored by the very best in the field.

I am honored to have attended.
