The training period of cardiothoracic surgeon is relatively long, thus it is very important to set up a standardized specialist training system for cardiothoracic surgeon. Integrated 6-year cardiothoracic surgical residency program (I-6 program) was initiated in United States in 2007 In terms of subject setting. The present article reviews and analyze the current status of I-6 training model in the United States in the aspects of rotation plan, case requirement, theoretical training, skill training and evaluation system. This model may improve the cardiothoracic surgeon specialist training system in China from aspects such as training subjects arrangement, evaluation system, and teaching resource, which can minimize the regional differences found in clinical capacity of medical quality of cardiothoracic surgeons in China and enhance the overall technical level of cardiothoracic surgery in China.
