He had also served as chair of the American Board of Thoracic Surgery and the Residency Review Committee for Thoracic Surgery, and was a founding member and first president of the Thoracic Surgery Directors Association. A superb technical surgeon, educator, and investigator, Dr Najafi led the Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery at Rush University Medical Center for 25 years.
