🫀 A lesson truly close to our hearts!

We were privileged to have Dr. Lucero grace us with his expertise as he guided our Pathology residents through the proper technique of heart dissection.

From orienting the specimen to following the chambers, valves, and vessels, it was a hands-on lesson that truly showed us that sometimes, the best way to understand the heart is to open it up and see what it has to say. ❤️🔬

Thank you, Dr. Lucero, for sharing your time, skills, and invaluable pearls with our residents. Another meaningful learning experience for the books—and one definitely close to our hearts! 🫀✨
