Surgical Oncology
- The Division of Surgical Oncology offers a two-year fellowship consisting of
six months of basic science research and 18 months of clinical rotations.
Generally, the fellow rotates with specific faculty members 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 MBA, MPH or PhD program.

Plastic Surgery Fellowship
- This two-year program is an independent model designed to provide graduating
residents with a comprehensive clinical experience and knowledge of the basic
principles of plastic and reconstructive surgery. The operative and clinical
experience available to the fellows is sufficiently diverse to provide a broad,
fundamental understanding of all aspects of the specialty. The fellows rotate
through six affiliated hospitals and on rotations that include trauma,
aesthetics, pediatric/clefts/craniofacial, hand and upper extremity and adult
reconstructive surgery. There are also opportunities to rotate with plastic
surgery sub-specialists in such areas as oculoplastic, head and neck and
primary burn care and reconstruction (adult and pediatric). We also have
specialized training facilities to assist the fellow in achieving educational
goals, which include the Microsurgery Training Laboratory, Fresh Tissue
Dissection and Surgical Practice Laboratory and the Aesthetics Center. The
fellows also actively participate in the busy basic science research that is
ongoing in the Division. Finally, through an extensive list of weekly
conferences, monthly journal clubs, rounds, didactic lectures and symposia,
fellows are optimally prepared for diverse clinical challenges in practice as
well as for In-service examinations and in preparation for the Board.

Fellowship in Surgery of the Hand - The fellowship was initiated in 1960
by Harold Kleinert. More than 900 physicians from 49 countries have received
training in hand surgery as clinical fellows, research fellows or residents. In
addition to refining their understanding of hand surgery, many of these
individuals have contributed immeasurably to the fellowship, bringing new ideas
and techniques from around the world. Fellows receive clinical training through
one- or two-month rotations on separate services. Initial patient evaluation is
performed by the fellows, whether in the office or the ER. The fellow outlines
his treatment plan for the patient and then consults with the attending who
makes modifications as necessary. Fellows also perform pre-operative and
post-operative evaluations in clinic two days per week. The fellow scrubs as
first assistant with the attending and then follows the patient's progress.
Surgery is scheduled two to three days per week for each attending staff. Call
occurs every third or fourth night. Fellows usually take first call with the
attending they are rotating with. Additional information can be found at:
