The Cardiothoracic Surgery Interest Group (CTSIG) exists to provide a support group for students interested in learning about and becoming more engaged in CT Surgery. The group will both connect students with expert faculty and offer shadowing opportunities, clinical skills labs, and exposure to the life of a CT surgeon. CTSIG will provide a forum for speakers to make presentations to members on contemporary aspects of CT Surgery and will provide social activities and events for members of the group.
