John H. Gibbon, Jr. Lecture: Innovation: A Surgical Imperative (No CME)

imageInnovation: A Surgical Imperative

Presiding Officer and Introducer: David T. Cooke, MD, FACS, Sacramento, CA
Lecturer: Michael J. Mack, MD, FACC, Dallas, TX

Surgery claims few certainties, but here’s one you can count on: The key concepts and skills you learned in training will not be the key concepts and skills you use at the end of your career.

“When you look at surgical practice on a day-to-day basis, not much changes,” said Michael J. Mack, MD, FACC, medical director, cardiothoracic surgery, and chair, cardiovascular service line, Baylor Scott & White Health, Dallas, TX. “But when you look back on a career, it is amazing how much things have changed in a relatively short time. Innovation makes a tremendous difference in what we can do in surgery and how we do it.”

Dr. Mack explores the role of innovation in surgery during the annual John H. Gibbon, Jr. Lecture, Innovation: A Surgical Imperative.

The John H. Gibbon, Jr., Lecture was established in 1971 to honor Dr. Gibbon, a pioneer in open-heart surgery, and is sponsored by the Advisory Council on Cardiothoracic Surgery.
