In 2017 the program was ranked by U.S. News and World Report in the top 20 and performed a total of 500 operations at Rady Children's with 300 of those being STS index cases. The congenital heart surgeon's support another 50 to 100 adult congenital operations performed at UCSD university hospital with the adult team. The ideal candidate will be at the beginning of their career but candidates with special skills in congenital heart failure/transplant/mechanical assist, adult congenital, or research will be considered.
