At the 2026 American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) Annual Meeting, CTSNet JANS Editor Dr. Mujtaba Mubashir, a cardiothoracic fellow at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA, USA, engaged in a thought-provoking discussion with Dr. Faiz Bhora, Professor of Surgery at the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine and Regional Chair of Surgery and Chief of Thoracic Surgery for Hackensack Meridian Health’s Central Region, New Jersey, USA, about integrated intelligence and mentorship.
They explored the application of integrated intelligence in medicine, highlighting the benefits of artificial intelligence (AI) and integrating AI into clinical workflows. Additionally, they addressed the potential drawbacks and ethical concerns surrounding AI technologies.
The conversation also underscored the significance of mentorship in the medical field. Dr. Bhora shared his experiences as a mentor, emphasizing the critical role of guiding and supporting the next generation of medical students and residents. He also offered valuable advice to medical students, residents, and fellows interested in cardiothoracic surgery.
