Recent industry studies have projected a deficit in cardiothoracic surgeons by 2030. Little is known about the difficulties of the job search process after cardiothoracic training. The purpose of this study is to explore the current practices of first job hunt and contract negotiation for young cardiothoracic surgeons, and to identify the gaps in resources available to applicants. In October 2017, a 56-question survey was emailed to recent (2013-2017) board-certified cardiothoracic surgeons in the US inquiring about their experience securing their first cardiothoracic job. The survey was administered via REDCap and responses were accepted over three months. Response rate was 12.8% (61/475). The majority of cardiothoracic program graduates (86.9%) interviewed for jobs between October and March of their final cardiothoracic training year, and 79.7% of contracts were signed prior to completing training. Sixty-four percent of respondents negotiated their first contract. The most influential factor in job selection was partner mentorship. Average starting pre-tax salary for respondents was $375,588 (± $107,265). Over half of respondents reported needing more resources and support for the identification (59%) and comparison (54.1%) of job opportunities, contract negotiation (70.5%), and salary guidelines navigation (77%). Very little guidance exists to support the search and securing of young cardiothoracic surgeons’ first employment. Resources, whether institutional or organizational, are sparse and difficult to tailor to individual needs. Given the potential ramification of early career decisions, focused support is needed to remediate the lack of preparation available to the newest generations of cardiothoracic surgeons.
