Overview

OVERVIEW

Cardiothoracic surgery is a highly dynamic and increasingly complex surgical subspecialty that requires a team of clinicians operating at the highest scope of practice for optimally medical care and surgical outcomes. Advanced practice providers (APPs), including physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs), have become essential members of that team, however sub-specialty education in APP training is minimal. Postgraduate training in all aspects of medicine is becoming of greater importance as an adjunct to traditional NP and PA primary-care focused education. As these postgraduate programs become increasingly popular, programs specializing in cardiothoracic surgery are exceptionally infrequent. Emory Healthcare Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery is committed to meeting the ever-changing needs or the population by establishing a program of excellence to offer formal training in cardiothoracic surgery in a more rapid and efficient manner than traditional on-the-job training.

The program will consist of both a didactic and clinical curriculum addressing the disease processes and treatment of the cardiothoracic surgical patient. The didactic curriculum, with live and web-based components, will run concomitant to the clinical curriculum. Web-based learning activities will be delivered via MyEvaluations.com Academic Suite ™. Regular graded written examinations will be administered to assess comprehension and retention of knowledge acquired throughout the didactic curriculum.
