PrintSurgical Education Training Programs
The Division educates learners in surgery at all levels, ranging from medical students, residents and clinical fellows.
Clerkship
The Division of Thoracic Surgery at McMaster University welcomes medical students to apply to the Electives Program at the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine.
Residency
Our Postgraduate Training Program in Thoracic Surgery began in 2000 under the leadership of Dr. John Miller. Since then, the Division has grown into one of the premiere training programs recognized by the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada. We are one of 8 centres in Canada (and 9 in the USA) qualified to train thoracic surgeons to practice Thoracic Surgery in Canada.
Fellowship
The Division has approximately 2 clinical fellows at any one time. The breadth and depth of the surgical experience our clinical fellows receive reflects directly back on our Division by way of how successful our graduates are in their subsequent surgical careers.
