TSDA Weekly Curricula
TSDA Weekly Curricula e-mail messages are sent to CT surgery residents, Program Directors, faculty and coordinators, and newly matched residents. Messages are delivered every Thursday for the upcoming week, with the exception of holiday weekends. Weekly assignments are based on an 88-week curriculum and are a supplement to residency curriculum. Assignments include pre-requisite basic readings for newly-matched residents, as well as core curriculum topics with more extensive and in-depth materials for CT surgery residents.
If you are not already receiving the TSDA Weekly Curricula and would like to, please send your name, position, program/hospital/institution, and e-mail address to tsda@tsda.org. Please enter “TSDA Weekly Curricula Request” in the subject line.
New Patch for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Users
Each week, TSDA’s Weekly Curricula newsletter includes links to talks on cardiac and general thoracic topics. TSDA is aware that some subscribers have experienced technical difficulties and are sometimes unable to load the talks. If you have experienced difficulties (either with the slides or the audio) and you use Windows Vista or Windows 7, TSDA suggests you install the following patch to make the files playable on your computer. This patch has been tested by TSDA staff and volunteers, and only takes a few minutes to install. You may also want to check with your institution’s IT administrator regarding special considerations or requirements of your network.
