Abstract

Left-handed cardiac surgery has been a rising topic. Training necessities pertaining to left-handed cardiac surgery education and mentorship are crucial to this group of surgeons. Through initiatives of experienced left-handed cardiac surgeons in association with the EACTS, a left-handed learning lab at the EACTS annual meeting was developed. This skills lab training is dedicated to offering left-handed surgeons a space which offers both technical development and career networking. In this short communication, we detail lessons learned and future insights into left-handed cardiac surgery education through hands-on training.Medical and surgical societies play a crucial role in fostering professional development through annual scientific meetings.
