Our sincerest thanks go to outgoing resident editors, Dr. Stephanie Mick and Dr. Christian Peyre for helping to establish the "Residents’ Corner" and creating excellent content for the section. To replace them, we have been fortunate to recruit two talented cardiothoracic residents representing a broad range of cardiothoracic educational interests.
In alphabetical order, Dr. Robroy MacIver grew up in Minnesota and attended the University of Minnesota medical school. He took a work-study job in the cardiothoracic research lab with Dr. Sara Shumway and Dick Bianco where he
"got hooked on surgery." From there he moved to Chicago to work with Dr. Constantine Mavroudis and Dr. Carl Backer at the Children’s Memorial Hospital, where he decided to focus on congenital heart surgery. He spent 2 years in the lab with Dr. Mavroudis and Dr. Backer working on tissue engineering in a heart block model. He was given the opportunity to travel to Melbourne for a year as an "add on" to his current pediatric fellowship at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
Dr. Bryan A. Whitson is a third-year Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery Fellow at the University of Minnesota. A native Hoosier, he completed his undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering at Purdue University, his medical doctorate at Indiana University, and his PhD at the University of Minnesota in Surgery investigating the immunobiology of minimally invasive surgery and cancer. His general surgery training was at the University of Minnesota where he also completed a Clinical Fellowship in Surgical Infectious Diseases.
He is currently the cardiovascular and thoracic surgery senior fellow at the University of Minnesota. He has 30 United States and international patents, received several grants, and over 60 publications.
Dr. Whitson’s research interests include lung transplantation, minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery, medical device design, nanomedicine, and pulmonary assist devices.
Together, Dr. MacIver and Dr. Whitson will work with the rest of the TSN staff to develop and improve our Residents’ Corner in print and online.☐
