Introduction
The Division of Surgical Oncology offers a two-year fellowship consisting of four months of basic science research and 20 months of clinical rotations. The fellow rotates with specific faculty members of the Division of Surgical Oncology rather than at certain hospitals so that the fellow performs all complex procedures with the designated faculty and then provides post-operative care for those patients with the assistance of the junior residents on service at each hospital. The diverse clinical interests and expertise of the faculty members allows the fellow to gain surgical experience in all aspects of surgical oncology.
The fellow will gain extensive experience in upper gastrointestinal, hepato-pancreatico-biliary, endocrine, melanoma, and breast. The fellow also has the opportunity to pursue additional basic science or clinical research and may combine the fellowship with an MSc program.
The fellow will also have the opportunity to pursue a Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary fellowship certification from the American Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association.
