PRESENTATIONS AND CONFERENCES

One of the goals for researchers in our lab is to present their results at various research conferences ... from institutional, local and state conferences to national and international conferences. Submission of abstracts and attendance at these conferences is strongly encouraged. Presentation of data at conferences in the form of poster or oral presentations provides valuable experience for the researcher.

Some of our favorite research conferences include:
1) American Heart Association (AHA)
 2) American Thoracic Society/American Lung Association (ATS)
 3) Virginia Surgical Society (VSS)
 4) American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS)
 5) American College of Surgeons (ACS)
 6) Virginia Vascular Society (VVS)
 7) Western Thoracic Surgical Association (WTSA)
 8) Southern Thoracic Surgical Association (STSA)
