Would Academic surgery be one/Academic surgeon?

Interesting question. I think with academic surgery you still have to have a specialty. For example, you could qualify as a cardiothoracic surgeon and then decide to go into academia. So spending half your time still practicing as a cardiothoracic surgeon in theatre/hospital but then also carrying out research. So I do not think that it is a specialty in and of itself.

Cardiothoracic surgeon - a specialist with knowledge in operating on the heart, lungs and surrounding structures.

Yes! That is a good one. Do you know any other surgical specialties?
