Motivated undergraduate pre-med students interested in shadowing cardiac surgery may apply to the Cardiac Surgery Summer Immersion Experience (CSSIE). The program provides students with the opportunity to explore cardiac surgery through observation in the operating room, hands-on research, clinical simulation, and short lectures on theory. The program accepts two students each summer and lasts approximately 6-8 weeks (May – June and July – August), structured similar to an elective clinical rotation.
