| Description | The purpose of this degree is to provide graduate students in advanced training in surgical education, with a specific focus on how surgeons are trained for their roles as expert practitioners.
The program typically consists of approximately 15-20 basic science graduate students and 10-15 residents per year for an enrollment of up to 45 students in the program. The diverse nature of the expertise and infrastructure is a strength that allows for cross-fertilization and collaboration. The Department has several core facilities including surgical suites, simulation facilities, an electron microscopy unit, clinical biochemistry and histology laboratory, and computer graphics and photography with technical staff in these laboratories who are able to assist graduate students who wish to carry out research projects. These facilities are well equipped to meet all the requirements of both the basic and clinical investigators from the Department of Surgery. | | |
