Overview
Objectives
The goal of the fellowship is to provide advanced, specialized training in robot-assisted mitral, intracardiac, and coronary adult cardiac surgery that extends beyond the scope of traditional cardiothoracic residency programs. The robotic fellow will primarily train at the Emory Robotic Center and operate at Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital. Additionally, the fellow will be granted full privileges across the Emory Healthcare system at all hospitals where cardiac surgery is performed.
Position Details
The robotic fellow will receive advanced training in and be responsible for the following knowledge areas and skills sets, including, but not limited to:
-
Treatment of all robotic cardiac surgery, including intra-cardiac and coronary bypass;
-
Preoperative evaluation, operative management, and postoperative patient care of complex adult surgical conditions, including major mitral surgery and complex/high risk intra-cardiac surgery;
-
Serve as co-surgeon on robotic procedures under the direction of the medical director and other cardiothoracic surgeons;
-
Train other cardiothoracic surgery residents and/or fellows in the diagnosis and treatment of complex mitral disease;
-
Interpretation and assessment of diagnostic imaging studies;
-
Participation in both emergent and elective mitral robotic intra-cardiac procedures;
-
Additional education and scholarly pursuits as determined by the medical director to support the mission of the Emory Robotic Center.
