From high school intern to cardiothoracic surgeon. 🏥

For many students interested in healthcare, internships and shadowing experiences can often spark curiosity that turns into a calling. For Dr. Brett Starr, that moment came during a high school internship at the same hospital where he now practices as a cardiovascular and cardiothoracic surgeon.
