We are excited to announce our newly matched Cardiothoracic Surgery Fellowship Program fellows!

The Cardiothoracic Surgery Fellowship Program received over 130 applications for our two Match positions. After completing a rigorous and competitive selection process, our program interviewed 25 candidates over two in-person interview dates in February and March 2025.

Program Director Rosemary Kelly, MD, and Associate Program Directors Amit Bhargava, MD, MHA, & Matthew Soule, MD, extend their gratitude to all faculty, fellows, and staff for their involvement and role in this critical recruitment process.

We are excited to welcome these two new outstanding fellows to the University of Minnesota on August 1, 2026.

MEET OUR NEW FELLOWS!
