In 1928, the University of Michigan opened its thoracic surgery residency under the leadership of Dr John Alexander. Initially tasked with providing surgical care for patients with thoracic diseases such as tuberculosis, thoracic surgery subspecialties now provide surgical treatment for a spectrum of diseases, ranging from congenital cardiopulmonary abnormalities to thoracic malignancy to acquired heart and great vessel diseases. Both the residency and the medical center have evolved to mirror the changing practice of thoracic surgery.
1928年，密歇根大学在约翰·亚历山大博士的领导下开设了胸外科住院医师培训项目。该项目最初的任务是为患有结核病等胸科疾病的患者提供外科治疗，如今胸外科亚专业为一系列疾病提供手术治疗，范围从先天性心肺异常到胸科恶性肿瘤，再到后天性心脏和大血管疾病。住院医师培训项目和医疗中心都已发展，以反映胸外科不断变化的业务。
