Cardiothoracic Surgery Rotation

This is a PGY-1 and PGY-4 rotation intended to give all residents a basic familiarity with cardiothoracic surgery as well as significant cardiothoracic ICU experience.

At the conclusion of the rotation, residents should be able to demonstrate:

Knowledge of the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiologic conditions of the bean and great vessels which are amenable to surgical correction
The ability to appropriately manage patients with pathologic conditions of the heart and great vessels within the purview and context of general surgery training
