| Description | Graduate students/residents are an integral part of the academic research program and are considered ‘junior colleagues in research’.
For the Department of Surgery to be a truly academic department it is essential that the training of graduate students (basic science and surgical residents) is based on a foundation of an active research program. Many basic science graduates go on to complete advanced degrees (PhD, MD) or postdoctoral fellowships across North America. Many clinical residents are often awarded prestigious fellowships based not only on their clinical abilities but also on their academic involvement, whether at the Masters or PhD level. | | |
