Physician Assistant Fellowship Program

Physician Assistant Fellowship Programs at Trinity Health Michigan Ann Arbor (THMIAA)

Two postgraduate fellowship programs are available for PAs interested in Cardiothoracic Surgery. The two tracks include: Cardiothoracic Surgery (CTPA) & Cardiothoracic Critical Care (CTCC).

These fellowships are offered by THMIAA in conjunction with IHA Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgeons. The program provides the graduate physician assistant with an opportunity to obtain advanced training in cardiothoracic surgery and critical care.

Each fellowship program is a 12-month didactic and clinical training program for licensed, board-certified PAs who wish to specialize in the management of cardiothoracic surgery patients. It expands upon the basic training of the PA in diagnosis and management of conditions common to cardiothoracic surgery patients. Each fellowship has a unique focus depending on the applicants' interests.

To date, our graduate fellows have a 100% placement rate in CT surgery at leading facilities across the country. Starting salaries have been commensurate with other PAs that have several years of experience in cardiothoracic surgery.
