The Surgeon of the Future, imagined by surgeons
William Kent
"I strongly believe the future of cardiac surgery lies in innovation. Minimally invasive techniques are a core focus of my work and passion, and I see them as central to the evolution of our field."
Mario Castillo-Sang
"The Surgeon of the Future is SELFLESS in knowledge and technique. Someone who is willing to pass on the knowledge and pave the way for the next generation."
"Surgeons of the Future need to always think about innovation as the solution to extinction."
Michael E. Ibrahim
"The Surgeon of the Future leverages innovation, leadership and technical excellence to meet the needs of patients today and tomorrow."
"They are data-driven and continually review outcomes and processes to pursue the highest standard of care."
"They are highly innovative, forming cross-discipline collaborations for patient-focused progress. They are impactful investigators who are domain experts in their sub specialty."
Marco di Eusanio
"The Surgeon of the Future must master MICS and ERAS. It’s not only about learning a technique or an approach. MICS and ERAS come from an evolution in MINDSET."
Husam H. Balkhy
"The Surgeon Of The Future will be focused on early recovery after executing the most effective therapy using the least invasive surgical approach in the treatment of many different cardiac pathologies."
