Open official programme page ↗Verification notes
KFSH&RC page gives duration and content but no dates (it also mislabels the specialty field as 'Anaesthesiology'). SCFHS lists 'Main Sub-Specialty in Thoracic Surgery' with accredited centres KFSH&RC Riyadh and King Abdulaziz Medical City (National Guard) Jeddah; its 2021 curriculum says the fellowship began at KFSH&RC in 2010 and was SCFHS-accredited in 2013.
