CardioThoracic Surgery Training Grant
The number of cardiothoracic surgeons conducting hypothesis-driven research is diminishing, and there is a need to provide quality research training for aspiring academic cardiothoracic surgeons. The role of this project is to train surgery residents in laboratory research before finishing their residency. The goal is to train and develop academic surgeons. This program will provide for collaboration between basic scientists and surgical faculty to train academic thoracic surgeons.
Salary for two surgery residents per year (for two years each resident) are privided in this proposal, for a total of 10 different trainees over the next five year period of this grant.
