Comments: Growing cardiac surgical service with very good surgeons. Clinically oriented rotation with great caseload diversity. Thoracic rotation also available to those interested. Fellowship is tailored to allow the fellow to pick best cases, read a lot (one office day per week even during 9 clinical months), not be on call or up late much, and learn echocardiography under a very collegial collaborative anesthesiology - cardiology based system. Fellow is expected to transition from advanced level resident performance for first 2-3 months to intermediate supervisory role (middle 6 months) to independence (last 3 months).
