Educational Goals

The goal of this program is to produce outstanding surgeons that are experts in the field of complex gastrointestinal surgery and minimally invasive surgical techniques. To that end, the program provides fellows with extensive surgical training and clinical experience under the mentorship and close supervision of faculty. Rotations cover Advanced GI/HPB, Research, Colorectal, and Robotics.
By the end of the fellowship year, fellows will also be equipped with the knowledge and experience required to successfully establish independent practice.
