Overview
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.

Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
For this rotation the continuum of care is related to the typical problems of pediatric cardiac surgery, including cyanotic lesions, defects of the septa, developmental defects, volume overload defects, obstructive defects, rhythm abnormalities, and pulmonary developmental problems.
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. 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 initially accept one candidate each year following medical school graduation. Students will apply through the NRMP (National Resident Match Program) to commence July 2009. If you would like to apply to this program please be certain to register with the NRMP by November 30, 2008. Our NRMP program code is 1820460C0. To apply for this program, we will need a copy of your ERAS application (please download from ERAS and send to us by regular mail or e-mail), three letters of recommendation, USMLE scores, and Dean’s letter. Alternatively, you can also download a universal application from the NRMP web site, fill this out, and send it to us along with the documents listed above.
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.
