Leading the Lung Cancer Multidisciplinary Team, I provide the program the full breadth of thoracic oncologic surgical care. I present/teach nationally and internationally on the topic of minimally invasive thoracic surgery and have published widely on this subject. My research interests include minimally invasive thoracic surgery, lung cancer screening, sputum tests for lung cancer, and thoracic surgery databases. I also serve as a member of several task forces within the Society of Thoracic Surgeons including the General Thoracic Database Committee, the Taskforce for Quality Improvement, the Access and Publications Commmittee, and the Public Reporting Committee. In addition to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, I am a member of the Southern Thoracic Surgical Society, the Eastern Cardiothoracic Surgical Society, and the General Thoracic Surgery Club. I am also a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons as well as the American College of Chest Physicians. I am board certified by both the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Thoracic Surgery.
“Dr Burfeind is an absolute excellent Surgeon. He took his time an did the testing needed to make sure he was doing the correct procedure on me. He explained everything that was going to be done and what was to be expected and while in the hospital he came to check on me at least twice a day and if he was not available send one of his colleagues in to check on me. His care has been absolutely amazing and after dealing with this problem for over a year (at another facility) he has given me hope of feeling well again.”
