Cardiac Anesthesia Fellowship
We are seeking a motivated and dedicated individual to join the Department of Anesthesia as a cardiac anesthesia fellow. Our fellowship program offers training in all aspects of cardiac surgical patient care, from pre-operative assessment and optimization, through to intra-operative management and immediate post-operative care. Our goal is to train outstanding clinical anesthesiologists to treat patients with a variety of complex cardiac problems, including valvular heart disease, critical coronary artery disease, severe ventricular dysfunction and aortic pathology.
Our cardiac anesthesia fellowship offers you many opportunities to develop skills in clinical care, judgment, teaching and research.
The successful candidate will provide progressively independent anesthesia care to mid- to high-risk patients for a wide spectrum of cardiac surgical problems.
The fellow will complete an intensive one-month rotation in intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and also learn basic and advanced peri-operative blood management techniques during cardiac surgery. The fellowship includes completion of a clinical research project for presentation at a major meeting (CSA, ASA, or SCA) or publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
