Applications

To qualify for admission to the two-year traditional independent program, the applicant must have completed a full residency in General Surgery accredited by either the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. It is expected that the applicant will have had some experience on a cardiothoracic service during that training. Technical aptitude, research experience, maturity, integrity, and a genuine interest in pursuing an investigative career in cardiothoracic surgery are sought in residency applicants.

All applicants must apply through the Electronic Residency Applicant Service (ERAS). Yale participates in the Thoracic Surgery National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) for which the applicant must register. Information can be found on the ERAS website.

Invitations for interviews will be offered on a rolling basis following review of the ERAS application. Interviews for the 2021-2022 season will be virtual and will take place November through early January.
