Highlights the importance of student interest groups and faculty support in engaging the next generation of cardiovascular surgeons.
The projected increase in cardiovascular patients, alongside the concerning perception of waning interest in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, presents a critical challenge: How do we engage the next generation? Vogel and colleagues1 highlight interest groups as a critical first stepping stone to kindle student enthusiasm and provide a starter kit guide. Both the need for student initiative and faculty support are emphasized; students take the lead in organization and outlines, whereas surgeons and residents provide opportunities and guidance.
