The Postgraduate Cardiovascular Residency Program for Physician Assistants is a 12-month residency offered by The Methodist Hospital in conjunction with Weill Cornell Medical College since 2007. Since the program’s inception, we have graduated over twenty PA residents, and all have been able to obtain a job in cardiovascular surgery prior to graduation. The residency will provide qualified candidates the opportunity to learn and improve on their basic surgical sciences, clinical and operative skills, and in the process take advantage of the job opportunities available nationwide.
