The Bias Against Integrated Thoracic Surgery Residency Applicants During General Surgery Interviews James M. Meza, MD, John E. Rectenwald, MD, Rishindra M. Reddy, MD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 99, Issue 4, Pages 1206-1212 (April 2015) DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2014.11.053 Copyright © 2015 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

Fig 1 When applicants become interested in cardiothoracic (CT) surgery. The majority become interested before the clinical years during medical school.

Fig 2 Activities applicants participated in to customize their education. The clinical years are customized with a career in cardiothoracic (CT) surgery in mind. Students tailor their third-year rotations to cardiac or cardiology rotations. Most spend their own free time outside of clinical duties participating in activities related to cardiothoracic surgery.

Fig 3 Applications and interviews at general surgery and integrated thoracic surgery residencies. (A) Most applicants applied to at least 21 general surgery programs. The number of interviews was relatively evenly distributed across the intervals of programs. (B) Candidates typically applied to more than 6 integrated thoracic programs, but almost half of respondents interviewed at 5 or fewer programs.
