Alumni Testimonial

When I began to practice as an adult cardiac surgeon, I felt that my training at Loma Linda prepared me for the full spectrum of adult cardiac surgery, whether it be a low-risk revascularization or valve or a high-risk redo transplant or device.  The autonomy in the operating room and in the ICU is superb.  This factor alone would make me choose the Loma Linda program again.  I am proud and honored to be part of its legacy.
