The cardiac surgical residency program is a small program, that facilitates a large degree of direct interaction between resident trainee and attending staff. There are 8 cardiac surgeons with an annual pump case volume of 1800. This provides a substantial clinical volume to which residents are exposed and eliminates competition from other residents or fellows. Rotations on other services involve some resident interaction and supervision by more senior resident staff, as well as group teaching sessions and seminars.
Program includes general surgery, intensive care, cardiology, vascular surgery, thoracic surgery, cardiac surgery. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
