Research

All residents work with faculty on research projects throughout their training. The capstone of the research curriculum is our Surgical Resident Research Colloquium.

Residents present their research to their colleagues, and faculty. Many of these presentations go on to be presented at regional and national meetings, as well as publication in peer-reviewed journals.
