I love presenting our work on wearable technology and tracking patient post op recovery! There is so much left to learn and understand so we better know how to help our patients when they leave our hospital doors!

Last night @UHCTSurgery hosted a robotics lab for thoracic surgery! It was awesome to have the extra instruction, attention to techniques, and teaching! So lucky to have such dedicated mentors who make training to be a thoracic surgeon so fun! @ltapias @JiangBoXiang
