The Thoracic Surgery Foundation for Research and Education offers this traveling fellowship to support continuing education in cardiovascular perfusion. It enables a perfusionist to visit another institution to learn unique techniques, explore simulation approaches, and identify opportunities to adapt innovative technology. The goal is to bring that learning back to the recipient’s home institution to advance the care of cardiothoracic surgery patients.
The fellowship centers on an educational experience at a host institution rather than a standalone research project. It supports professionals committed to expanding cardiovascular perfusion education and knowledge, with an emphasis on continued growth and development within their institutional or group-practice setting.
