Patient Safety is essential for successful surgical care — in cardiothoracic surgery — and all disciplines. In the more than 10 years since the Institute of Medicine made patient safety a priority, little progress has been made in changing culture and practice on the front lines.

This two-day course — including team training and simulation experiences — will make a difference, offering surgical team members practical safety behaviors for improving patient outcomes.

Invest in the Future of CT Surgery: Support the AATS Graham Foundation

Thank You for Investing in the Future of CT Surgery

Last year, the Foundation provided research and fellowship opportunities to 134 young surgeons from five continents, launched eight new programs and the Academic Excellence Award, while maintaining our core programs. We also increased revenue by almost $900,000, allowing us to grow program funding by 39 percent.

This wouldn’t have been possible without our individual donors and corporate/organizational partners.

Read the 2015 Graham Foundation Annual Report

The AATS Graham Foundation has been hard at work over this past year to advance its mission of driving leadership in research and education through clinical and research fellowship programs. These spectacular programs are only  possible with the support of our individual donors, institutional and foundation contributors, and industry partners. Read the report here.

Your support is key. Help us ensure the future of the specialty.
