Lurker here applying dual CT/CC

I’ve heard from Cleveland Clinic, Maryland, Michigan, Mayo, Stanford, Miami, Hopkins, Vandy, Yale, Beth Israel, UPenn, Florida, and Duke. Have not heard a peep from MGH or Brigham.

Interviews (only done 3 so far) have all been super conversational / chill. Basically they went over the program details via PowerPoint and a few 10-15 min interview with 2-3 staff just talking about the location or unique stuff from their respective programs followed by a 30-60 min talk with current fellows.

iirc BWH historically interviews combined applicants first, and then reaches out and interviews cardiac only applicants later (think March-May).

I would assume most programs would send interview invites to dual applicants first

Are these all CT specific interviews or combined with CC interviews?

It’s about 50/50 mix (not all programs offer combined interviews and require you to be invited , schedule , and interview for CC and CT fellowships completely independent of eachother).

The combined CC/CT interview invites were from Stanford, Vanderbilt, Florida, Duke, Yale, Beth Israel, Hopkins, and Brigham (they offered both interviews at the same time but it’s one whole day for CC and one day for CT).

i know this has been asked in previous threads but generally speaking what programs are in the top tier of cardiac anesthesia fellowships? everyone i ask has different answers. Looking to do my own cases at least 50% of the time.

If you are looking to do your own cases instead of supervising residents, I can take care of you.
