Resident Research

The Department of Surgery at the Medical University of South Carolina is dedicated to providing high quality patient care and we firmly believe that this mission is advanced through scientific inquiry. For example, the annual Surgery Research Day is designed to recognize and reward the research accomplishments of all trainees in the Department and our research opportunities database on the Research Opportunities page helps residents easily find a mentor and / or research area they would like to pursue.  

In addition, our Surgeon-Scientist Pathway in the Future Surgical Leaders Program will help you specialize in developing a unique professional career path as a surgeon scientist.
