We Were Residents Once … And Young

Each transition in the trajectory of a career comes with changes, some good, some challenging, and some changes are both. As you prepare to enter a Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Residency (TCV Surgery), or the last few years of an Integrated Six Residency, you are well aware that you are likely embarking on one of the most demanding and challenging eras of your professional life. And, you are likely also aware that, as a TCV Surgery resident, you will have a limited amount of time to approximately double what you know about medicine and surgery. In fact, in these last few years of your formal training you will likely have fewer than 700 days to accumulate this necessary medical and surgical knowledge.
