WELCOME
FROM THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR
Welcome to the home page of Resident Education in Thoracic Surgery. Our resident education curriculum in thoracic surgery is a three-year program which includes training in thoracic surgery, cardiac surgery and congenital cardiac surgery. One new resident is appointed each year. This provides a balanced training curriculum with the full spectrum of cardiac and thoracic surgical problems seen during the three-year program of study.
We invite you to explore these pages and hope you find them as helpful resources for those interested in Thoracic Surgery at Vanderbilt.
