Overview

Our goal is to shape cardiothoracic surgeons who will successfully serve their communities while practicing independently. Our fellows will participate in a 2-year program and will operate on a large number of complex cases. Throughout the fellowship, our fellows will gain exposure to a comprehensive didactic curriculum and encounter a magnitude of patients with different racial, cultural, and religious beliefs. They will be exposed to research opportunities and become leaders in the community.
