Thoracic Research

Canadian Association of Thoracic Surgeons Quality Improvement Program (CATSQIP) is a continuous benchmarking initiative aimed at identifying best practices in thoracic surgical care, while also providing opportunities for both observational and interventional research within the thoracic surgery population.

Thoracic surgeons Dr. Brian Johnston and Dr. Marco Sirois, and Clinical Assistant Dr. Farhad Kheiritootkaleh are collaborating with Canada East Spine Centre to support ongoing contributions to the Canadian Association of Thoracic Surgeons (CATS) TSQIC database and its related research initiatives.
