Master in Fellowship Cardiothoracale Anesthesie

For Master in Fellowship Cardiothoracale Anesthesie, the tuition fee is 500 USD per year.

Operating at the intersection of high-stakes surgical intervention and critical care, this two-year fellowship at Erasmus MC immerses clinicians in the peri-operative management of complex cardiothoracic procedures. Fellows are integrated into a high-volume tertiary environment that performs approximately 1,300 cardiac and 400 pulmonary surgeries annually, providing a unique platform to master both standard procedures and rare, high-acuity cases.

Clinical Expertise and Scope

The programme is designed for medical specialists or residents (A(N)IOS) seeking to evolve into versatile cardiothoracic anesthesiologists. Beyond standard adult cardiac surgery, the curriculum emphasizes:

• Extensive exposure to congenital heart pathology across pediatric and adult populations.
• Advanced practice in transplantation and expertise in ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) management.
• In-depth experience in electrophysiology and interventional cardiology procedures.

The learning model transitions from direct, senior-level supervision to full clinical autonomy, supported by a structured educational framework that runs parallel to daily practice.
