Educating the Future of Surgery
The Office of Surgical Education at the University of Utah is the hub for pre-medical, medical students, residents, and fellows to understand our educational offerings in the clinical, simulation, and research spaces.
In the Clinical spaces, we have rotations in all of our divisions, including general surgery, surgical oncology, cardiothoracic surgery, vascular surgery, urology, plastic surgery, and transplant.
In the simulation space, our ACS-AEI accredited Simulation Lab provides hand-on training for all levels of learners.
Our 2-year Surgical Education Research Fellowship is one of few around the country that provides tuition for a Masters in Health Professions Education as well as mentorship in educational projects that lead to publication and future surgical education leadership.
We hope that you take some time to peruse our program and hope that you can join us in our mission to bring excellence to surgical education.
Message From Our Associate Vice Chair
We in the Department of Surgery at the University of Utah are committed to excellence within the education mission and believe that surgical education must be approached with intention.
The current environment of medical education, overlaid with the complexities of modern healthcare, requires a thoughtful and innovative approach to optimize student and resident learning and achievement.
We support all of our teaching faculty and career educators through our Section of Education and are committed to advancing the field of surgical education with this community of educators.
