Residents practice minimally invasive surgery
techniques. Simulation models comprise some of many innovations
being developed and employed in the department's surgical skills curriculum. Also, Residency Director Karen Horvath, MD aides a resident in needle and suture technique; residents confer over charts.
The Divison of Surgical Education is committed to developing surgical skills among residents and faculty. Our conferences educate students, residents and faculty; showcase Department and other visiting faculty; and foster camaraderie within the Department and within the local surgical community. We strive for an exciting environment that fosters the intellectual development of students, residents, and practicing physicians alike. Our motto is: Examine, critique and change what needs to be changed.
