General Surgery Curriculum
Our general surgery curriculum places a strong emphasis on team-based learning and includes:
- Direct involvement in systems-based care through multidisciplinary rounds and interaction with case management on all rotations
- Comprehensive and formal training on the da Vinci Robotics system
- Daily tiered huddles to celebrate good catches, identify safety issues and determine daily readiness.
