I’m excited to be a part of the FCS team! I am committed to surgical residents having the opportunity to practice important skills that will shape their relationships with their patients and positively impact their patient’s wellbeing. Residency directors are eager for standardized communication programming like this, and I believe FCS will be a program they can deliver using the resources they already have.
