TSRA Podcasts
With the help of residents and senior faculty from around the country, TSRA has released a series of podcasts covering various adult cardiac, thoracic, and congenital heart surgery topics. This resource is similar to the popular TSRA Clinical Scenarios but in audio format. In each podcast a resident interviews an expert faculty regarding the background, work-up, surgical considerations and pertinent potential complications of a given condition. Podcasts can be accessed and streamed via SoundCloud or through the SoundCloud app. TSRA plans to release 1-2 podcasts per month over the next several years, so please check the website regularly for new material.
