An introductory educational module for cardiothoracic trainees.
In an attempt to enhance training we have developed an innovative introductory educational module for cardiothoracic trainees. Newly appointed cardiothoracic trainees at the Yorkshire Heart Centre in Leeds have piloted a 6-month programme, comprising 3 months attachment to the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit, and 3 months seconded to allied departments. This report describes this programme, and considers its advantages and disadvantages.
