Dr. Sabra completed visiting surgical professorships during Summer 2017 in Hamburg, Germany and Poitiers, France where he worked with some of Europe’s highest-volume and most renowned endocrine surgeons in the birthplace of modern thyroid and parathyroid surgery. His fellowship experience in Europe has allowed him to adopt innovative new techniques and approaches to his practice in thyroid and parathyroid surgery, as well as creating new forums for international collaboration.
