The Center for Innovative Minimally Invasive Therapy (CIMIT), a collaborative effort of MGH, BWH, MIT, and the Draper labs, opened at BWH on May 1. This new center will work to identify and develop technologies that offer breakthrough advances in how unmet clinical needs are approached across the broad scope of medicine, surgery, radiology, and anesthesia. The Director of the BWH CIMIT will be Dr. Donald S. Baim, professor of Medicine, HMS. He completed his undergraduate work at the University of Chicago, his medical training at Yale, and his post-graduate training at Stanford, where he did extensive work with coronary angioplasty. He established the Interventional Cardiology program at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He has authored numerous papers and a textbook on cardiac catherization and angiography. In addition to his primary role directing CIMIT at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Baim will continue his own clinical work and research in interventional cardiology.
