Traits of the Current Traditional Pathway Cardiothoracic Surgery Training Pool: Results of a Cross-sectional Study

As new paradigms for cardiothoracic surgery (CTS) training emerged in recent years, the traditional 2- or 3-year pathway has persisted as an option for trainees completing general surgery residencies. While the applicant pool for 6-year integrated (I-6) CTS training programs has been superficially explored, little data exist characterizing those applicants to the traditional CTS pathway and the impact of I-6 expansion on the traditional applicant pool.
