Since 1955 more than 1000 anesthesiologists have received a portion of their training in the THI program of anesthesia for cardiovascular surgery. The Department of Cardiovascular Anesthesiology offers the following training opportunities:
Residency Training
Resident rotations (CA2 and CA3 levels) from accredited training programs for basic training in anesthesia for cardiac and vascular surgery are available for periods of two to six months by arrangement with your Program Director. During 1997, residents from the following programs rotated at THI: University of Texas at Houston, Texas Tech University, University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Tulane University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Florida.

Fellowship Training
One year, ACGME-accrediated Fellowship positions (CA4 or CA5 levels) are available for graduates of accredited training programs who wish advanced training in anesthesia for cardiac, thoracic, and vascular surgery. Emphasis is placed on anesthetic management of adult and pediatric patients for the entire spectrum of cardiovascular and transplant surgical care. Training in transesophageal echocardiography, supervision of cardiopulmonary bypass, consultation on non-surgical cardiac patients, coagulation management, and postoperative intensive care are important elements of fellowship training. Research opportunities include both clinical and laboratory investigations.
