The Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery (CTS) is pleased to offer an exciting opportunity for a qualified Advanced Practice Practitioner (APP, i.e. NP or PA). Let us help advance your career by being part of a highly competitive Cardiothoracic Surgery APP Fellowship. In the CTS Fellowship, we will immerse the Fellow in all aspects of Cardiothoracic Surgery from preoperative care to postoperative critical care and post-discharge care. Throughout the Fellowship you will be mentored by well-established APPs and attending physicians who pride themselves on fostering a collaborative environment with a progressive degree of autonomy in a fast-paced Cardiothoracic Surgery practice.

In the CTS Fellowship, APPs are giving the unique opportunity to provide perioperative care for CTS patients from initial consultation to discharge. The CTS Fellow will spend the majority of their Fellowship in the Cardiac Surgery Intensive Care Unit (CSICU). In collaboration with established APPs, Fellows will have the opportunity to master their skills including:

• Critical Care Management: Fellows will manage patients recovering from various cardiothoracic surgeries, including aortic surgery, coronary artery bypass grafting, thoracic surgery, and valve surgery.
• Collaboration on Mechanical Circulatory Support: Fellows will work closely with APPs and attending physicians to manage complex mechanical circulatory support devices such as ECMO, Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP), Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs), Impella, and Right Ventricular Assist Devices (RVADs).
• Multidisciplinary Communication: Fellows will master the essentials of communicating the plan of care effectively with the multidisciplinary team, especially regarding any changes in the patient's condition.
• Procedural Skills: Fellows will have opportunities to enhance their procedural skills in common intensive care settings, including bronchoscopy, central line placement, arterial line insertion, and chest tube management.
• Patient Experience Optimization: The Fellows role will also focus on optimizing the patient experience, satisfaction, quality of care, and overall outcomes through effective perioperative care.
• Diagnostic Test Management: In collaboration with the APP team, Fellows will be responsible for ordering and interpreting a range of diagnostic tests pertinent to each patient's condition.
• Emergency Response: In critical situations, Fellows will respond to emergencies, providing medical stabilization until definitive management can be initiated.
