This program provides three continuous years of clinical training in cardiothoracic surgery, with one new resident starting each year. Residents will rotate on adult cardiac surgery at The University Hospital and the Good Samaritan Hospital, on general thoracic surgery at The University Hospital and the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and on pediatric cardiac surgery at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. The Section of Cardiothoracic Surgery is an integral part of the Department of Surgery at the University of Cincinnati. The Section includes the Division of Cardiac Surgery and the Division of Thoracic Surgery. The Division of Cardiac Surgery is also aligned with the Division of Vascular Surgery from the Department of Surgery and the Division of Cardiology from the Department of Medicine to form the UC Heart & Vascular Center. The Section of Cardiothoracic Surgery also includes our colleagues in pediatric cardiac surgery who care for patients at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. There are several hours of conferences each week devoted to adult cardiac surgery, pediatric cardiac surgery, and general thoracic surgery. Each cardiothoracic surgery resident is expected to attend at least one national scientific meeting annually. Attendance at additional meetings is encouraged dependent upon academic productivity.
The faculty and residents meet twice a month to discuss various clinical, research, educational, and administrative issues. Each faculty member provides a written evaluation of each resident at the conclusion of each rotation, and all residents are encouraged to provide a written evaluation of each faculty member and each rotation. The cardiothoracic residents are required to complete the annual in-training examination offered by the American Board of Thoracic Surgery. The Program Director will meet with the residents weekly to discuss patient care issues and educational needs. In addition, the director will undertake a formal evaluation and discussion of the progress of each resident at least twice a year or more frequently if necessary. The service at The University Hospital is augmented by general surgery residents (PGY-1 and PGY-4) rotating on a monthly and bimonthly basis, respectively. In addition, there are two physician assistants and two nurse practitioners. We have active programs in adult and pediatric heart transplantation, insertion of left ventricular assist devices, surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation, and robotic cardiac and thoracic surgery. The Division of Thoracic Surgery performs a wide variety of operative procedures including video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) lobectomy and other minimally invasive procedures. In collaboration with the Section of General Surgery and the Division of Surgical Oncology, we offer a multidisciplinary approach to the care of patients with esophageal disorders. The Section of Cardiothoracic Surgery is under the direction of Walter H. Merrill, M.D. As Program Director of the Thoracic Surgery Residency Training Program, Dr. Merrill is responsible for the coordination and direction of the training program and the overall administration of the Service. The Section participates in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) for cardiothoracic surgery applicants. There are thirteen faculty members who are the primary teachers for the residency program. Each faculty member is delegated a major role and responsibility.

Most notable of these are all forms of minimally invasive endoscopic procedures and female incontinence procedures. The Urology program is a five-year program with rotations at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Good Samaritan Hospital, Children’s Hospital Medical Center, and The University Hospital. Three and one half years of adult urologic surgical training are complemented with six months of training in all forms of pediatric urologic surgery. Recent changes in faculty and close cooperation within the Transplant Division have fine-tuned our laparoscopic capabilities. As a result, the residents benefit by increased skill upon completion of the program.
