Applicants must have completed an ACGME approved general surgery residency by June 30, 2022 and be American Board of Surgery certified or eligible. The Loma Linda University Department of Surgery in Loma Linda, California has a one year non-ACGME accredited clinically-focused Global Surgery Fellowship (GSF) and is looking to find its next fellow to start August 1, 2022. The goal of the Global Surgery Fellowship is to prepare American-trained general surgeons to be competent and capable of performing the needed surgeries in rural, low-resource environments, and low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). The Global Surgery Fellowship furthers the Loma Linda University Health (LLUH) goal ‘to make man whole’ and is committed to the values of the LLUH Surgical Department: Compassion, Excellence, Humility, Integrity, Justice, Teamwork, and Wholeness. It aims to address the overwhelming surgical needs throughout the developing world by enabling an increase in access to safe surgery globally. In 2015, the World Health Organization recognized that the lack of access to safe surgical care results in 3-times more deaths than HIV, TB, and Malaria combined and the W.H.O. made Global Surgery a priority in public health. There are approximately five billion people around the globe who lack access to safe and affordable surgical and anesthesia care with a vast majority of those people living in the low-resource settings of LMIC. It is estimated that each year 143 million additional surgical procedures need to be done in Sub-Saharan Africa alone. The LLUH GSF will directly address surgery’s indispensable part of health care in underserved areas and will positively affect the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by training surgeons to be capable and competent of surgery in rural, low-resource environments as well as training surgeons competent and capable of working in rural hospitals throughout the USA and the world. The Global Surgery Fellowship (GSF) is a one-year training program for American Board of Surgery eligible or certified general surgeons. It consists of eight months training at Loma Linda University Health (LLUH) in Loma Linda, California, 3 months of guidance and experience at Malamulo Adventist Hospital (MAH) in Malawi, Africa, and 1 month instruction in orthopedics at Hôpital Adventiste d'Haïti, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The fellowship training at LLUH will consist of rotations and case log completion in Obstetrics, Gynecology, Urology, Orthopedics, and Trauma, as well as Anesthesia, Neurosurgery, Pediatric Surgery, ENT, Plastic Surgery, Wound Care, Dentistry, Preventative Medicine, Tropical Disease, Public Health, financial literacy for organizations, and leadership in health administration. The fellow may be eligible to take the exam for the Diploma of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene after the completion of the required modules and in-person session. The fellow will complete at least one research paper focusing on a topic in Global Surgery. LLUH is uniquely equipped for the GSF with its strong history of international service and its direct connection to a wide network of hospitals in low and middle income countries. This modus operandi of mission focus is evident in the multidisciplinary enthusiasm and support for the Department of Surgery’s Global Surgery Fellowship. The fellowship program director, Dr. Ryan Hayton, and assistant program director, Dr. Carlos Garberoglio, have a continued interest in meeting the global needs of surgery based on their real experience in providing surgical care in low-resource environments.Riverside University Heath Systems/University of California, RiversideDate Posted: October 8, 2021

The Gosain Lab at Lurie Children’s is seeking a surgical resident for a paid research fellowship during the 2022-2023 academic year (with the potential to extend to a two-year position). The Gosain Lab encompasses broad clinical, translational, and basic science topics in plastic surgery, craniofacial surgery, tissue regeneration, education, and global health, among others. Our NIH-funded projects focus on a porcine model of tissue expansion. We are analyzing the effects of tissue expansion on the architecture, genetics, and biomechanics of the affected tissues. We aim to optimize the outcome of tissue expansion in the face of radiation therapy, which has direct implications for improving outcomes of implant-based breast reconstruction. The research fellow’s main responsibilities will include performing surgical procedures that consist of tattooing, expander implantation, expander filling, and tissue harvest. Fellows will also become proficient in conducting wet lab techniques to analyze tissues and are expected to contribute to the preparation of manuscripts and grants. Additional opportunities are available to become involved with other clinical projects in the Gosain Lab, as well as within the broader Northwestern University Division of Plastic Surgery. This opportunity is ideal for general surgery residents or related surgical specialties who wish to pursue a career in plastic surgery, and have completed at least two years of surgical training, though no specific prior experience with tissue expansion is required. Applicants who have two years to devote to full-time research will be more strongly considered. Full salary and benefits provided according to PGY level and ACGME standards. Dr. Arun K. Gosain is a pediatric plastic surgeon and serves as Division Chief of Pediatric Plastic Surgery at Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. His research laboratory is supported by several major institutions including the National Institutes of Health and The Plastic Surgery Foundation (PSF). Dr. Gosain has served in leadership roles for multiple professional organizations including American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Plastic Surgery Foundation, American Board of Plastic Surgery, American Society of Maxillofacial Surgeons, American College of Surgeons, Residency Review Committee, and American Council of Graduate Medical Education. He is widely regarded as a leader in craniofacial surgery, as a successful surgeon-scientist, and he has been recognized with awards and lectureships for his work as a mentor. Dr. Gosain is excited to welcome a research fellow for the upcoming one- or two-year term.Cleveland Clinic Department of Endocrine SurgeryDate Posted: September 13, 2021
