What will define the future of surgery? Dr. Billiar Timothy suggests that the answer lies at the intersection of clinical science, artificial intelligence, and innovative surgical training. The future of surgery will require a new generation of surgeons who can seamlessly integrate technology, research, and clinical expertise. This includes advancing trauma research, predicting patient outcomes, and leveraging AI to improve care delivery. Watch the full conversation to discover how the University of Pittsburgh Surgery Program is preparing tomorrow's surgical leaders.

Team Tzeng needs to regroup and train up! We cannot finish last again!! I will learn to kazoo and listen to pop radio to do my part. The rest of the team - you know what your weaknesses are… Great fun regardless.
We had a blast at last night’s annual junior resident game night at @macky_neal’s ! We battled it out in trivia about our faculty, reverse charades, and even a kazoo challenge to claim the Top Dog trophy. Such a fun night with an awesome crew, and a real treat having @Edith_Tz and Dr. Billiar join us! #WhyPittSurgery #PittSurgFam
