Global cardiothoracic surgery: outcomes from a survey on current worldwide training programmes
There is a lack of standardization of trainee experience with extreme variations in global cardiothoracic training programmes in terms of length of training, reliance on simulation, supervision, research opportunities and minimum case requirements. These variations are opportunities to think forward in terms of collectively working on standardization of trainee experience, developing innovative modalities to increase supervision of trainees and recognizing trainee interest in research. There is a clear demand for increased global collaboration and the transfer of knowledge and techniques in addition to trainee recognition of need for further training.
