The university also offers a six-year cardiothoracic surgery residency for candidates directly out of medical school.
This program includes two residents per year in the cardiac track and two per year in the thoracic track, for a total of eight residents.
During training, residents receive exposure to many key experiential learning environments including:
Residents may choose an elective month on cardiopulmonary transplant.
Here, they will have training and exposure to single lung, double lung, heart-lung, and heart transplantation procedures, as well as techniques of mechanical circulatory support, including left and biventricular assist devices.
