Alumni Testimonial

My experience at Loma Linda was unparalleled. I learned how to be a safe surgeon and developed a good sense of judgment to know when and when not to operate. I also appreciated that the faculty of Loma Linda are constantly striving to improve their practice utilizing the newest technologies available to our specialty. I have been able to start a robotic CT surgery program at my hospital, and I anticipate growing my practice rapidly based on the things I learned while at Loma Linda. I would not have reservations about recommending Loma Linda to aspiring CT trainees.
