Physician Education and Training
In addition to the major goal of the Division of Thoracic Surgery – which is to provide the very best and most modern thoracic surgical care to its patient – Massachusetts General Hospital conducts a very extensive educational program.

The graduates of this program hold major positions in similar units in medical schools and hospitals around the country.
