We follow the SCORE curriculum as recommended by the American Board of Surgery.
We have 4.5 hours a week dedicated to didactic education, including weekly M&M and Grand Rounds. Our clinical rotations cover all the general Surgical subspecialties comprehensively, with outside rotations as listed in the bullet points.
We also have a simulation center in the operating room complex to allow access for simulation training in between OR cases. Our simulation center has state of the art simulators such as the GI mentor. Simulation training program for the DaVinci surgical robot is also available.
