On June 14, 2025, we came together to honor and celebrate the accomplishments of our graduating vascular surgery resident (Dr. Regina Husman), fellow (Dr. Ezra Koh), and aortic fellows (Drs. Yuki Ikeno and Michael Troncone). Surrounded by faculty and staff who have supported their training every step of the way, this special evening was a testament to the hard work, dedication, and professionalism that define our program.
We are proud of these talented surgeons and excited for the next chapter of their careers as they move on to new positions and opportunities. They carry with them the traditions, knowledge, and values we hold dear.
Thank you to our Vascular Surgery Program Director, Dr. Naveed Saqib, and Associate Directors Dr. Sophia Khan, Dr. Shihuan Wang, and Dr. Akiko Tanaka, for their leadership and commitment to training the next generation. We also extend our gratitude to our Aortic Surgery Program Director, Dr. Rana Afifi, and Associate Director, Dr. Akiko Tanaka, for their expert guidance and unwavering support.
Congratulations to all of our 2025 graduates — your hard work and perseverance have brought you to this milestone. We wish you every success in your future endeavors!
