Education in the Department of Surgery comprises medical student clinical clerkships and electives, graduate medical education resident and fellowship programs, basic scientist training, and continuing medical education seminars and classes. Our surgical clerkship has become a model of innovation for clinical education and has led to a marked increase in the number of medical students at the University of Cincinnati choosing surgery as their career path. We also serve as an educational resource for our colleagues in the Greater Cincinnati region and other academic institutions seeking unique training and CME credit. Complementing the clinical training are outstanding opportunities to participate in basic science research in the Department of Surgery, other basic science laboratories within the College of Medicine, or extramural institutions. While research is optional, most residents choose to spend one or two years in laboratory research with a faculty mentor. Opportunities are available during this time to pursue advanced degrees such as Ph.D. or Doctor of Science. Surgical education programs in the Department of Surgery at the University of Cincinnati have a proud tradition of being among the premier programs in the country. We welcome your interest in our education program and invite you to learn more about our shared vision of surgical education of the 21st century.
