Biography
Dr. Ratcliffe received his M.D. degree from Case Western Reserve School of Medicine and completed his General Surgery and Cardiothoracic residencies at the Univeristy of Pennsylvania. Dr. Ratcliffe is certified by the American Board of Surgery and American Board of Thoracic Surgery. His special interest is in the application of finite element analysis or the failing left ventricle. Dr. Ratcliffe has been on the faculty since 1993. Currently, he is Director of the Cardiac Biomechanics Laboratory.
Dr. Ratcliffe is an active member of the American Society for Artificial Internal Organs, American Heart Association, Society of Thoracic Surgeons, Western Thoracic Surgical Association, San Francisco Surgical Society, American Association of Thoracic Surgery, and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
