We are researchers

Our faculty, fellows, residents, medical students and research staff are involved in research that impacts the lives of millions of individuals, transforming surgical care. The challenge for us is not in our productivity but in our communication and translation of the evidence we are creating. This communication is but one of a number of important department initiatives, to improve connectedness in our research successes and milestones. We all share in the pride of our collective successes.

We are clinicians

On top of world-leading research and outstanding educational resources, we are committed to integrating innovative clinical care to our everyday practice.
