Additionally, in 2022, the Plastic Surgery program became the first in the nation to offer an enfolded Hand Surgery fellowship, within the Plastic Surgery core program. Further, a number of our faculty and residents have authored modules for and contributed leadership to the formation of SCORE (Surgical Council on Resident Education), the most widely used on-line curriculum for training in General Surgery and its fellowships.

Additionally, the department’s Education Committee, led by the Vice Chair of Education, helps to oversee all aspects of education in the department, working across divisions and sections to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, optimal mentoring programs for trainees, successful intern and fellow recruitment and interview events and optimization of faculty involvement in resident and student education.
