Questions to ask before applying
A practical due-diligence checklist for international cardiothoracic fellowship applicants.
Confirm eligibility in writing
Ask whether your current qualification and training stage are accepted, whether international graduates may apply, and which professional registration category is required.
Clarify participation and supervision
Request a precise description of clinical, operative, outpatient, on-call and research responsibilities. A fellowship name alone does not establish hands-on access.
Understand the complete cost
Confirm salary or stipend, fees, registration, visa, insurance, travel and accommodation. Separate institutional support from costs you must fund yourself.
Apply the guide to real programmes
Compare source-backed programme profiles and keep every unresolved fact visible.
