Post-Doctoral Fellowship (PDF) — Department of CVTS: Adult Cardiac Surgery or Paediatric Cardiac Surgery
Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST) · Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India · Thiruvananthapuram · India
Programme overview
SCTIMST offers a one-year Post-doctoral Fellowship for holders of DM/MCh (3-year) or equivalent qualifications, providing advanced sub-specialty clinical training, hands-on experience in advanced techniques and research. The Department of CVTS lists PDF positions in Adult Cardiac Surgery or Paediatric Cardiac Surgery.
Faculty source needs confirmation
Correct-case official programme page says applicants should contact supervisors but current rendered CVTS section lists only adult/paediatric cardiac surgery and no person. The 2016/2019 prospectuses identify K Jayakumar, but newer official administrative listing reports emeritus appointment from 2021. No evidence that historical supervisor still directs this PDF. Public administrative order indexes were searched; found 2026 appointments for other fellowships, not cardiac surgery. Current Renjith S profile’s programme-coordinator role is for MCh batches, not this PDF. Latest annual-report URL indexed officially but retrieval also failed (tool error and local DNS resolution failure).
