Thoracic
Surgeon
Duties and responsibilities:
A thoracic surgeon
is a medical doctor who performs operations on the heart, lungs, esophagus, and
other organs in the chest. This also includes surgeons who can be called cardiographs surgeons, cardiovascular surgeons, general thoracic surgeons,
and congenital heart surgeons.
Education:
Thoracic surgeons have to graduate
from medical school and most commonly will go on to complete a five-year
general surgery residency. After this they must successfully matriculate
through an approved cardiothoracic surgery residency program for either two or
three years. Some thoracic surgeons choose to do additional training in a
sub-specialized area but this training is largely optional, except for
congenital heart surgery.
Salary: $30,000
