The division of pediatric surgery is committed to advancing surgical care for children through research activities that are evidence-based, rigorous, accountable and translatable. Faculty within the division conduct a wide variety of clinical research that incorporates several research paradigms, including mixed methods, quantitative and qualitative methodologies. 

Research training is an important facet of the residency training program in the division. Resident research productivity has been excellent over the last number of years. While evidence-based methodology is the key strength of the division, our residents are encouraged to pursue research interests in both clinical and basic science research.
