I am an Emeritus professor of surgery and an author of the book which is used for the presentations made in this of FCCS course.

I am using information from this course to provide teaching to trainees at Regions Hospital and topic review for practitioners in other hospitals in the Twin Cities.

I have taught this course material multiple times over previous years. Our conduct of these courses has been slowed by the recent epidemic of COVID-19. We are now in the process of increasing the teaching activity in this course.  I am doing this with multiple colleagues and at multiple hospitals.
