Department of Surgery Chairman’s Research Education Fund

The Department of Surgery Chairman’s Research Education Fund is your opportunity to help us further the Department of Surgery’s mission of excellence in research and education. Your generous support is very important, as your donations will help our researchers better understand diseases and develop new treatments for surgical diseases. They will also help educate future healthcare professionals by enhancing our diverse educational programs for training medical students and residents.

The department has a long history of excellence in basic and translational research. It is a source of great pride and one of the important ways we contribute to the best ideas in medicine.

Your support of the Department of Surgery allows our surgeons to advance their scientific knowledge, improve patient care and community health and conduct research and clinical trials.

Our commitment to teaching medical students the fundamentals of general surgery and subspecialties is matched by our strong residency and fellowship programs. Thanks to the support of generous individuals and organizations, we offer our students opportunities to learn through research projects and provide residents, fellows and faculty members with continuing medical education.

Over our 50-year history, our department has remained committed to advancing the clinical and academic skills of our residents and trainees by pioneering groundbreaking surgical interventions, advanced simulation training and innovative research. Our mission is simple: to provide advanced surgical experiences through highly skilled surgical teams with one end goal — delivering the highest quality, patient-centered care to our communities. The power of a donation is tremendous and translates into necessary funding that will further our already remarkable history of excellence.
