Description
Funded and administered by the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) Foundation, this fellowship is part of its Honoring Our Mentors program. It offers early-career surgeons who have recently completed training, or who are interested in thoracic surgical oncology, a two–four week observational experience to broaden their knowledge of the specialty.
Fellows are fully integrated into the clinical and academic programs at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, or Massachusetts General Hospital. The experience connects observation at the host institution with each fellow’s prior preparation and professional goals, including how they intend to use the skills observed at their home institution.
