Integrated Cardiothoracic Surgical Training Program
The Stanford University Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery is pleased to announce the first RRC-approved, Integrated Cardiothoracic Surgery Training Program in the United States. The Norman E. Shumway Stanford Cardiothoracic Surgery Residency Program at Stanford is an innovative, integrated eight-year curriculum divided into three parts. The first two years comprise Prerequisite Clinical Training in Cardiothoracic Surgery. Following this, there is the potential for two years of Academic Enrichment through either laboratory or clinical research opportunities or pursuit of a graduate degree in a related or ancillary field (e.g., M.P.H., M.B.A., M.S., or Ph.D.). The final four continuous years comprise Requisite Clinical Training in Cardiothoracic Surgery. The overarching objective of this novel training program is to provide a more comprehensive and rational total immersion in the diagnosis and management of all aspects of cardiovascular and thoracic diseases through multi-disciplinary training. This unique curriculum, including rotations in interventional radiology, interventional cardiology, and endovascular surgery, will provide our residents with background and experience using these new tools in order to build a career as future “cardiovascular specialists.” Graduates will be eligible to sit for the Cardiothoracic Surgery Boards.
The program will accept two candidates each year following medical school graduation. Students will register through the National Resident Match Program (NRMP) to commence July 1st training. If you would like to apply to this program, please be certain to register with the NRMP by November 30, 2009. Our NRMP program code is 1820461C0. This year we are participating in the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) and would like to receive our applications through ERAS. Please see this web site for information about ERAS and the application process: http://www.aamc.org/audienceeras.htm
Applicants who have not graduated from a United States medical school will have to provide an Applicant Evaluation Status Letter from the Medical Board of California and an ECFMG certificate.
