Resources for Surgery Residents http://scalpel.stanford.edu/

Stanford has always been recognized as a program devoted to the education of cardiothoracic surgical residents.

The residency consists of three years of clinical training leading to certification by the American Board of Thoracic Surgery, with two trainees per year. The program provides dedicated experience in the major areas of the specialty; namely, adult and pediatric cardiac surgery and thoracic surgery.

In each of these dedicated areas, the resident participates in the continuum of care through preoperative assessment of the patient through history and physical examination, evaluation of diagnostic studies, assessment of the suitability for operation, planning of the operative procedure, operative role as surgeon or assistant, and leader of the postoperative care team, both in the intensive care units and on the recovery floors. The resident will also participate in the outpatient follow-up of patients in the clinics, maintaining continuity of care with the patients they have been in contact with through the in-hospital care.

We recommend that you visit the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) web site (look under fellowship matches) or call the NRMP office at (202) 862-6077 for registration information regarding the Match. 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
No applicant can be considered until he or she has completed a residency in General Surgery in a program leading to certification by the American Board of Surgery. Following an initial evaluation, selected applicants will be invited to interview in late winter/early spring.
