Courtney Collins

Name: Courtney Collins

Institution: The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center

Statement of Interest: I am currently in my third year as an abdominal wall surgeon at Ohio State University. I have been involved in AAS for many years and currently sit on the Education Committee as well as the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee where my focus has been on amplifying the voices of LGBT+ surgeons and trainees. I am continually impressed by the vision of the AAS particularly with its focus on engaging and supporting young faculty, trainees, and students and preparing them for successful academic careers. I would love to represent my class and help shape the future endeavors of the organization that has played such a significant role not only for me but for many junior attendings.

Seth Goldstein

Name: Seth Goldstein

Institution: Northwestern University Lurie Children’s Hospital

Statement of Interest: I am a pediatric general surgeon member who seeks additional involvement with and opportunity to serve AAS. I am a member since 2018 and have been a regular attendee of the annual meeting both before that as a trainee, and since as faculty. The organization has always been a source of professional development, personal camaraderie, and overall inspiration as a young academic surgeon. Most recently, I served on the Publications Committee 2019-2021 and received a 2020 Reviewer Excellence Award. It would be a privilege to serve as AAS Councilor and faithfully represent my class.

Sharven Taghavi

Name: Sharven Taghavi

Institution: Tulane University School of Medicine

Statement of Interest: I have been involved with the AAS since I was a junior resident and the organization has played a key role in my development as an academic surgeon. From honing my presentation skills at the ASC, serving on the ASC Program Committee, and connecting me to a mentor through the AAS-SUS Basic & Translational Mentorship Program, the AAS has provided me with networking and career advancement opportunities that have helped establish my career. Being an AAS Councilor would give me the opportunity to give back to this wonderful organization and participate in helping other academic surgeons establish their careers.
