Colorectal surgery was the first general surgery rotation that I had in medical school, and it completely shattered the perception I had of surgeons until that point. I worked with a fantastic surgeon and physician, an extremely caring individual. I saw in him an ability to not only be an excellent surgeon but someone who related to his patients at their bedside. He maintained long-term relationships with them built around an enormous amount of trust. From that day on, I was interested in colorectal surgery.
Our surgical residency and fellowship opportunities have been developed with one goal in mind… to help train outstanding clinical surgeons who are dedicated to providing the best possible patient care.
