Moffitt Cancer Center · Tampa, Florida, United States · Advanced Subspecialty Fellowship · Date not announced
Additional training for board-eligible thoracic surgeons, concentrating on robotic lung and oesophageal cancer surgery. The programme is based entirely at Moffitt.
- Required prior training
- Board-eligible thoracic surgeons seeking additional advanced thoracic oncology training.
- Deadline
- Current deadline requires confirmation
- Language
- Confirm current language requirements with programme.
- Funding
- The fellowship links Moffitt’s employed-fellow salary policy. For AY2026–27 it publishes US$87,360/year at PGY7 and US$91,603 at PGY8; the appointment determines the pay level. This replaces a generic request to confirm funding with the linked institutional schedule, without assigning a personal salary.
- Application documents
- The dedicated hospital application page requests a current CV, a brief goals/career-plans statement, telephone/email contact details for three thoracic-surgeon references, and a valid ECFMG certificate for graduates of medical schools outside the US/Canada. It asks applicants to contact Jacques Fontaine and submit materials to the education coordinator; it does not request three reference letters in this checklist.

- Application source note
- This hospital page publishes an undated January 30 deadline and in-person interview instructions. Confirm the active intake and current process with the coordinator before applying; these standing instructions do not establish an open recruitment round.

PTO covers vacation, holidays, sickness and personal time; confirm the applicable plan and contract rather than treating all 25 days as holiday leave.
