A one-year fellowship program funded by<br />
Ethicon Endosurgery is available for candidates<br />
desiring additional training in advanced<br />
minimally invasive and gastrointestinal surgery.<br />
This will include experience in minimally<br />
invasive gastrointestinal, bariatric, solid organ,<br />
hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, robotics, and<br />
flexible endoscopy. The overall goal <strong>of</strong> the<br />
fellowship is to develop academic general<br />
surgeons with an interest in advanced<br />
gastrointestinal surgical management and<br />
techniques. The program will teach advanced<br />
operative skills and patient management, and<br />
further develop clinical research and teaching<br />
skills. Expectations include teaching and<br />
rounds with residents, medical student lectures,<br />
presentation and coordination <strong>of</strong> general<br />
surgery conferences, and development and<br />
implementation <strong>of</strong> research projects related to<br />
the content areas <strong>of</strong> the fellowship.<br />
The fellowship allows the unique<br />
opportunity to obtain experience in<br />
development and application <strong>of</strong> advanced<br />
surgical technologies within the Center for<br />
Surgical Innovation (CSI). Examples <strong>of</strong> CSI<br />
research available to the fellow include device<br />
development, virtual-reality surgical simulation,<br />
surgical informatics, robotic surgery, and robotic<br />
telesurgery. Within the CSI, the fellow also has<br />
a unique opportunity to learn about commercial<br />
and educational aspects <strong>of</strong> experimental<br />
technology through exposure to our worldleading<br />
academic, industrial and government<br />
partners. Manuscript preparation, poster<br />
preparation, oral presentation, etc. are<br />
expected. The fellowship is approved by<br />
The <strong>University</strong> Hospital Graduate Medical<br />
<strong>Education</strong> program, accredited by the<br />
Fellowship Council, and is part <strong>of</strong> the national<br />
Minimally Invasive <strong>Surgery</strong> Fellowship Match.<br />

The Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>Surgery</strong> is committed<br />
to providing excellent educational experiences<br />
for medical students. Richard Stevenson, M.D.,<br />
has been Director <strong>of</strong> the Student <strong>Education</strong><br />
Program since November 1999. Under his<br />
leadership, a dedicated team <strong>of</strong> faculty and<br />
staff have developed one <strong>of</strong> the strongest<br />
clerkships within the College <strong>of</strong> Medicine and<br />
increased the number <strong>of</strong> graduating students<br />
who have chosen to pursue a career in surgery.<br />
Improvements to the structure <strong>of</strong> the surgery<br />
clerkship curriculum have helped us to<br />
increase the depth and breadth <strong>of</strong> students’<br />
knowledge <strong>of</strong> surgery. We are also efficient<br />
with the students’ time. These improvements<br />
include an intense first week <strong>of</strong> the clerkship<br />
filled with didactic and interactive teaching<br />
sessions. During this week, all students<br />
participate in 9 lectures, 15 interactive teaching<br />
sessions, and 6 two-hour “practical sessions” in<br />
the Skills Lab and the Anatomy Lab. During<br />
