Abstract

The landscape of cardiac surgery is changing due to the current patient population who present at an advanced age with multiple comorbidities. Robotic surgery and interventional procedures are altering surgical practice. The modern cardiothoracic surgeon needs to be technically competent in the new and existing skills and display qualities of professionalism, teamwork, leadership, and effective communication. Current training programs have no provision for this methodology. This article introduces the concept of competency-based training and has suggestions for implementation of the same.
