Committee on Academic Advancement Self Nomination for Thinzar Lwin

Surgical Oncology

City of Hope

I am a surgical oncologist and a surgeon scientist at the City of Hope Medical Center. I was first introduced to academic surgery through the AAS, specifically the fall courses. The mentorship and connections developed through the years of membership in AAS have been invaluable in my career.

This would be a fantastic opportunity to give back and contribute to the next generation of academic surgeons. I aim to help develop leadership and faculty development resources through the AAS to enable aspiring and existing academic surgeons to lead fulfilling and satisfying careers.
