Dr. Arnaoutakis joins Dell Medical School from the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville, where he served as an associate professor. He practices as a cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon with a focus on aortic and vascular heart disease, the report said.

Dell Medical School first opened its cardiovascular and thoracic surgery division three years ago as a counterpart to the school’s pediatric congenital heart program. As chief, Dr. Arnaoutakis will lead the new division and serve as physician executive of adult cardiovascular and thoracic surgery for Ascension Texas in Austin.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
