Our residents: Israa Laklouk, Mahmoud Soliman, Weiwei Shi and Ilyas Yambayev, each presented to the students a gross specimen illustrating a specific type of cardiovascular pathology (valve disease, myocardial infarction, atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, etc). The students greatly enjoyed this learning experience and gave rave reviews of our residents’ presentations. We would like to acknowledge our residents for their excellent teaching, enthusiasm, and dedication. BRAVO!!
