Dr. Simin Golestani

Recipient of the EAST Oriens Award (2024 Fellow Award Winner)

Testimonial

I was honored to receive the EAST Oriens award in 2024 and to follow in the footsteps of great leaders in the world of trauma and critical care who also began as EAST Oriens award winners. I was grateful for the opportunity to share a personal piece of writing and to receive warm support at the EAST meeting.

Once I became a member, I was amazed by the variety of educational, research, mentorship and leadership opportunities that EAST provides to surgeons at all stages of their career.

I am excited to be part of EAST and to continue to both benefit from and contribute to the work of this excellent organization.
