Fellowship training in adult cardiothoracic anesthesiology (ACTA) is a one-year postgraduate experience with formal accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. ACTA is a competitive and evolving subspeciality. With expanding knowledge, clinical roles and technical skills required of the modern cardiothoracic anesthesiologists, the optimal structure and duration of the fellowship training are worth considering. This manuscript provides supporting rationale for fellowship training in ACTA to remain one year in duration. The expanding responsibilities of the cardiothoracic anesthesiologist and strategies to best train the future of the subspecialty within the current training structure are discussed. It also briefly examines the history and current status of the fellowship training, reviews considerations for increasing fellowship duration, and highlights personal and financial considerations during the training.
成人心胸麻醉学（ACTA）的奖学金培训是为期一年的研究生经历，由研究生医学教育认证委员会（Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education）正式认证。ACTA 是一个竞争激烈且不断发展的亚专业。随着现代心胸麻醉师所需知识、临床角色和技术技能的不断扩展，奖学金培训的最佳结构和持续时间值得考虑。本文为 ACTA 的奖学金培训持续一年提供了支持性的基本原理。讨论了心胸麻醉师不断扩大的职责以及在当前培训结构内培训该亚专业未来的最佳策略。它还简要回顾了奖学金培训的历史和现状，审查了延长奖学金培训持续时间的考虑因素，并强调了培训期间的个人和财务考虑因素。
