Thoracic surgeon

Thoracic surgeons are medical doctors who specialize in chest, heart, and lung surgery. Thoracic surgeons may further specialize in one area, such as heart surgery or lung surgery, or in a subspecialty of that area, such as coronary artery bypass surgery.

Thoracic surgeons can be board-certified through the Board of Thoracic Surgery, which is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
