Mentoring

Faculty and resident surgeons performing surgery.

Each resident will be paired with a faculty mentor based on their preferred specialty. They will meet quarterly with their mentor for guidance on research, rotations, and tips for success in their desired specialty. Our graduates have an excellent match rate into their preferred specialties which recently have included cardiothoracic surgery, trauma and critical care, pediatric surgery, plastic surgery, vascular surgery, and many more.

Quality Improvement Projects

The Quality Improvement in Advanced Learners Program (QIALP) is an eight-to-nine-month quality improvement (QI) program designed to train advanced learners (i.e. residents and fellows in medical school, clinical pharmacy, psychology, or other advanced learners in health care professional fields) to work effectively on interprofessional quality improvement project teams (each with two faculty facilitators) while using quality improvement science methodology.
