Case
Requirements and Curriculum
The program curriculum includes general, colorectal, oncologic,
transplant, and pediatric surgery with the primary focus
on research and developing and learning new surgical technique.
Fellows are exposed to all major minimally invasive surgery
techniques and have the opportunity to spend additional
time in areas of special interest to them. Their time
will be divided 80/20 between clinical time and ongoing
research activities. Expected case load for graduation
is 300 cases with 90% being laparoscopic and 10% open.
Fellows must log cases in the databank at the Fellowship
Council and each Fellow's log will be checked periodically
throughout the year by the Program Director.
