Mass General Brigham/Massachusetts General Hospital Program
About This Program
Our one-year program is accredited for seven fellowship positions in cardiothoracic anesthesiology. Mass General's cardiac anesthesia division considers the training of fellows as one of our primary missions, along with patient care and safety. We recognize that a strong combination of didactic education and clinical training, with progressive responsibility and independence, leads to strong clinicians who champion safe and whole-health patient care.The cardiac anesthesia clinical experience at Mass General is unparalleled given the surgical volume and complexity. ACTA fellows cover the most complex cases every day and enjoy tremendous autonomy in patient management and intraoperative echocardiography.
