Research

“Cardiothoracic and cardiovascular surgeons helped to establish The Baird Institute in order to foster, fund and promote cardiothoracic research in medical undergraduates, graduates, advanced trainees and in its own surgeons.

While research is mandatory as a part of surgical training, little practical support is offered within general surgical training programs. The Baird Institute recognised this gap and has worked assiduously to encourage cardiothoracic surgical trainees to participate in clinical and applied research.”
