New and Emerging Technology Fellowship
Thoracic Surgery Foundation for Research and Education, with generous support from Edwards Lifesciences, has created a fellowship program to train established thoracic surgeons in new and emerging catheter and endovascular technologies. The goal of this program is to broaden training opportunities and create an avenue for thoracic surgeons to acquire or refine cross-disciplinary skills and increase proficiency with new techniques necessary in the changing thoracic surgical practice.

Simulation in Thoracic Surgery Education
The TSFRE believes that cardiothoracic surgery is an ideal specialty to demonstrate and evaluate the use of advanced simulation and other innovative approaches to quality and safety as a model for other highly technical medical specialties. Simulation has had a tremendously positive impact on education and certification in other areas of human activity where teams interact with technology in high risk environments.
The TSFRE Education Committee requests proposals for grants to support the demonstration study for the application of simulation in thoracic surgery education. The TSFRE Board of Directors has approved $100,000 total for funding of all 2010 Simulation Grants
