During this time, he wrote numerous publications and presented at several national meetings. He joined the American Association of Thoracic Surgeons in 2019. A member since 1994, Dr. Roberts has served in leadership positions of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, including the Workforce on Practice Management and the Guidelines Committee for Surgical Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation.
