Research Fellowship
At the end of the second clinical year the categorical general surgery resident enters the
research fellowship. The purpose of this year is to allow the future surgeon to gain a critical eye upon the
results of research in order to be an effective life-long learner. In addition, the productivity naturally
engendered by this experience will lead to national presentations and publications that can improve the
resident’s standing as a candidate for a future fellowship opportunity or for a position at an academic
department of surgery.
A sampling of the research opportunities available at our school may be found here; in
addition, opportunities at other academic health centers can be pursued.
