Thoracic Surgery Residency
Led by some of the nation’s best educators in health science, our programs are at the forefront of translational medicine and healthcare innovation.
The Thoracic Surgery Residency is accredited by Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Key clinical studies on coronary bypass and valvular heart surgery have been published in prestigious peer-reviewed journals. The division is a leader in developing percutaneous aortic valve surgery, robotic-assisted mitral valve surgery and video-assisted thoracic surgery. The Thoracic Surgery Residency emphasizes less invasive techniques in adult cardiac, aortic and general thoracic surgery. In addition, exposure to advanced treatments in heart failure, such as the total artificial heart and ventricular assist devices, complements the busiest heart transplant program in the United States.
