Alumni
From 1977 through 2013, 36 fellows completed the three-year training program at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. 19 of these fellows initially took academic positions. The remaining fifteen are practicing from Idaho to Florida. All of our fellows who have taken both parts of the American Board of Thoracic Surgery exam have become board certified.
With the teaching system instituted by Dr. Fullerton, fellows are able to spend more of their fellowship in the area they intend to practice while still obtaining the required index case required by the American Board of Thoracic Surgery. All areas of
cardiothoracic surgery are experienced in our fellowship program. Adult cardiac, pediatric cardiac, general thoracic and transplant are well covered in the three-year program.
Our well rounded program has enabled fellows to be independent
operators either in private practice or academia once their training has been completed.
