title: Thoracic surgery training at the University of Michigan.
abstract: The process of thoracic surgery resident education is and always has been taken very seriously at the University of Michigan, where it is regarded as a key mission of the faculty. More attention is paid to the details of providing a supportive educational environment using established principles of education, curriculum planning, evaluation, and feedback. Resident education is the order of business today and, although challenged by the demands of managed care and cost containment, it remains among the most important priorities at the University of Michigan.
