Voices of TDI

"Since completing my degree in 1997, I have been promoted to full professor in the departments of Surgery and Community & Family Medicine, been awarded a Harmes Scholarship from the Department of Surgery, been awarded an Alley-Sheridan Scholarship Award from the Thoracic Surgery Foundation for Research and Education, become Chair of the Hitchcock Foundation, and mentored surgical residents during their research years. All of this was possible because of the training and guidance I received."
