Cardiothoracic Surgeon Jobs

A Cardiothoracic Surgeon performs surgeries on the heart, lungs, esophagus, and other organs within the chest. They are responsible for diagnosing and treating diseases of these organs through surgical procedures. These specialists may perform surgeries like heart bypass surgery, lung resection, or tumor removal. They also work with a team of healthcare professionals in planning and coordinating treatment for patients. Cardiothoracic Surgeons play a vital role in the Physician industry due to their specialized skills in a complex field.

Important skills for a Cardiothoracic Surgeon include excellent motor skills, a high level of physical stamina, good communication, and a strong ability to cope with high-stress situations. They should also have a deep understanding of the cardiothoracic system and be proficient in using surgical instruments. They must possess a medical degree and complete a five-year general surgery residency followed by a two- or three-year cardiothoracic surgery residency. Board certification from the American Board of Thoracic Surgery is often required. Before becoming a Cardiothoracic Surgeon, a person may have roles such as a Medical Student, Medical Intern, and General Surgery Resident.
