Clinical Fellowship Training Program in Advanced Cardiac Surgery

Programme overview

Post-specialist cardiac fellowship covering complex adult and congenital operations, thoracic aortic disease and advanced circulatory support.

Programme details

Required prior training

Thai Medical Council licence and thoracic-surgery board certificate or recognised specialist approval required.

Participation

Supervised clinical and operative training; privileges require host approval.

Positions

Published capacity: one annually; current vacancy unconfirmed.

Funding

Siriraj’s central international-training guidance quotes tuition from approximately THB350,000 per academic year and a one-time non-refundable THB4,500 processing fee; its FAQ states no institutional scholarship or monthly stipend. These are central published terms, not a confirmed quotation or funding offer for this archived surgical curriculum.

International applicants

Foreign-qualification recognition and eligibility require confirmation.

Archived programme contact

The official linked curriculum, which refers to Buddhist year 2553 (2010), lists the Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery division telephone 02 419 7998 (+66 2 419 7998) and education officer Nipa Waiwut (Thai: นิภา ไวยวุฒิ). This is an archived contact; confirm the current office and officer before sending documents.

Official contact

International fellowship eligibility and routing enquiries: siint.recruit@gmail.com, the Postgraduate Education Division coordinator listed on Siriraj’s official admissions page. Ask whether the archived advanced cardiac/aortic curriculum is currently offered and whether this international application route applies; this is a central contact, not a dedicated surgical coordinator.

Application documents

Central international-fellowship guidance lists Forms A/B, at least two reference forms, passport, degree and transcript with required translations/notarisation, English-test evidence, medical licence, CV and ID photo. Confirm applicability and additional surgical documents first: the current linked Surgery folder does not list these archived cardiac/aortic curricula.

Language

Central international admissions lists TOEFL-iBT 64 or IELTS 5.0 or above, with results within two years. Thai preparation is recommended for patient communication; the FAQ says Thai is not mandatory at fellowship level, while departments may set their own requirements. Confirm this surgical route’s current criteria.

Visa information

If admitted through the central international pathway, Siriraj’s International Relations Division issues an acceptance letter and visa-support instructions. This is conditional on actual programme acceptance and does not establish foreign-licence recognition or clinical privileges.

How to apply

Enquire with the Cardiothoracic Surgery Division: +66 2 419 7998. Confirm current recruitment and the application checklist.

Confirm operative privileges with the host. Participation depends on licensing, credentialing, immigration status and institutional approval.
