Developing the Academic Surgeon: A Symposium

Building a clinical cardiothoracic surgical program: A multi-institutional model

Vaughn A. Starnes, MD, Mark L. Barr, MD, Julie A. Webster, BS

From the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, Calif.

Address for reprints: Vaughn A. Starnes, MD, Hastings Professor and Chairman, Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, 1510 San Pablo Street, Suite 415, Los Angeles, CA 90033 (E-mail: vstarnes{at}surgery.usc.edu).

Building a multi-institutional cardiothoracic surgical program has the same guiding principles and values as a traditional single institutional program: ensuring high-quality patient care, training and fostering residents, recruiting and retaining quality faculty, and contributing to basic and clinical research. With a well-designed infrastructure and support system, this more complicated type of organization may permit academic cardiothoracic surgical programs to compete effectively and grow in a constantly changing economic and political environment.
