Ph.D. in Cardiovascular Thoracic Surgery is a highly specialized research program that focuses on the surgical treatment of heart and lung disorders, investigating both clinical and experimental approaches to cardiovascular and thoracic conditions. The curriculum, which typically lasts 3-5 years, includes research into surgical procedures, medical equipment, cardiovascular physiology, regenerative medicine, and post-operative care. Students conduct innovative research on topics such as heart transplantation, minimally invasive surgery, cardiac regeneration, and pulmonary disease treatments. Graduates pursue positions in academic research, clinical practice, or the medical device and healthcare industries. Admission normally requires a relevant medical degree (MD or MBBS) or a Master's degree in biomedical sciences, as well as clinical experience and a strong research interest.
