Online Education – Thoracic Surgery; Cases of the past. Lessons for the future.
Former professor and chief of thoracic surgery at UTHealth Houston, Kamal Khalil, MD, arranged a digital review of his previous grand round lectures. Case reports, surgical reviews, and lessons learned both in and out of the operating room are covered in this online educational tool. With materials dating as far back as 2005, Khalil reviews the “Management of difficult problems in general thoracic surgery. Cases of the past. Lessons for the future.”
Each online ‘book’, reviews a single grand rounds lecture, including audio directly from Khalil. The audio, “can be particularly helpful when viewing medical imaging”, he says. The bookshelf will remain active, and will regularly be updated with new lectures and ‘books’.
