Cardiovascular Surgery T32 Postdoctoral Fellowship

The Baylor College of Medicine Research Training Program in Cardiovascular Surgery is designed to prepare MD surgical residents and PhD post-doctoral fellows for an academic career in cardiovascular surgical research. Funded by a T32 grant from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health, our program is led by principal investigator/program director Todd K. Rosengart, MD, chair of the Department of Surgery, and program co-directors, Scott A. LeMaire, MD, vice chair for research, and Barbara W. Trautner, MD, PhD, director of clinical research. The program provides salary and educational support to two (MD or PhD) trainees per year, for two years each.

Postdoctoral MD and PhD trainees accepted into the program will engage in a mentored research project which will be complemented by a set of core program activities, team science training, and responsible conduct of research training. All T32 faculty mentors have active research programs, have been successful in securing extramural funding, and have a strong commitment to training the next generation of cardiovascular surgeon-scientists and PhD investigators.
