In an attempt to enhance training we have developed an innovative introductory educational module for cardiothoracic trainees. Newly appointed cardiothoracic trainees at the Yorkshire Heart Centre in Leeds have piloted a 6-month programme, comprising 3 months attachment to the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit, and 3 months seconded to allied departments. This report describes this programme, and considers its advantages and disadvantages.
