Pediheart Podcast #248: Challenges Of Training The Next Generation Of Congenital Heart Surgeons

In this episode we speak with Professor of Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Stephanie Fuller about a recent work she co-authored on the impressions of CT surgical trainees and attitudes towards the field of congenital heart surgery. What factors were important amongst those surgeons who chose to pursue the field? What are the obstacles that may make it less appealing to the CT surgical trainee? How can surgeons be effectively trained in this demanding field in an era of public reporting and USNWR rankings? What sort of innovation is happening today to improve the training of congenital heart surgeons? Dr. Fuller shares her deep insights this week. doi: 10.1053/j.semtcvs.2022.03.004
