At USC he educated and mentored over 40 next-generation vascular surgeons and received an award for excellence in teaching and mentoring trainees.
His practice at USC focused on complex aortic surgery using minimally invasive techniques to treat thoracoabdominal and aortic arch disease, as well as complex open surgery. His research focuses on improving the care of aortic disease, and he served as site principal investigator for several NIH and novel-device clinical trials, including the Improving Outcomes in Vascular Disease鈥擜ortic Dissection trial, for which he is the leading enroller in the country. He has published over 140 peer-reviewed manuscripts and over 20 book chapters, predominantly in the areas of aortic surgery and vascular trauma, with a particular focus on minimally invasive surgical techniques and improved collaborative care. His work has been published in top-tier journals that include JAMA Surgery, Circulation, and the Journal of Vascular Surgery.
In addition to his domestic contributions, Dr. Magee鈥檚 presence extends globally. Early in his career, he helped conduct malaria vaccine trials in Mali and developed a treatment program for children with Chagas disease in Bolivia. He also worked as a volunteer trauma and critical care surgeon in Haiti and as a visiting general surgeon in Eritrea, among other international roles. He routinely lectures internationally on complex aortic surgical techniques and vascular trauma care.
He is an active member of many prestigious national and international societies, including the Society for Vascular Surgery, the Vascular and Endovascular Surgical Society, the Society of Clinical Vascular Surgery, and the American College of Surgery.
