“Choosing a cardiothoracic surgery residency program”
What Actually Happened
I regret choosing some i6 cardiothoracic surgery residencies due to toxic environments, lack of hands-on training, and overemphasis on efficiency over resident experience.
What I wish I knew
"I wish I had known more about the program culture and resident experiences before committing to a lengthy training journey."
Advice to Someone Facing This Now
If I could tell you one thing
