 I am Christine Law. I'm the Chair of Surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and the Surgeon-in-Chief at the University of Maryland Medical Center. I am a general thoracic surgeon, so I do all aspects of general thoracic surgery, including lung cancer, which is the bulk of my practice, esophageal cancer, anything really in the chest that doesn't involve the heart, so anything on the diaphragm. I work with people who have hyperhydrosis or sweaty palms even. I also do lung transplantation. That's sort of been my clinical niche for years. That's a smaller part of my practice, just because there aren't as many lung transplant recipients as there are patients with lung cancer. I went to Dartmouth Medical School and when I finished Dartmouth, I went to Duke for my general surgery training, which I completed after seven years. I did two years in the laboratory looking at mechanisms of injury and lung transplant and lung transplantation. I then went on and did a cardiothoracic and lung transplant fellowship at the at Washington University in St. Louis. So I spent two years on faculty at the University of Michigan and then was recruited to the University of Virginia. I was the division chief of thoracic surgery at the University of Virginia for coming here. My overall vision for the department is for Maryland to be the premier place where patients want to receive their care in Maryland and also I want it to be the place where people want to come and spend their entire careers because they're so happy they don't ever want to leave. I feel very lucky to have a job that I feel like every day I get to come to work and impact someone else's life. It's a real privilege. I feel it's a great calling to be in medicine. I feel very lucky to be able to work with great teams and really change the footprint of disease processes.
