Special Features

Faculty and residents share a common mission to provide cutting edge care to all patients. Temple surgery can be described as an environment that is supportive of its' team's wellness. We have five hours of protected conference time each Wednesday, during which residents can rotate through a surgical simulation center, practicing open laparoscopic and robotic skills. Residents are signed up for the ABS SCORE curriculum. PGY3s' elective rotation can be an international rotation.
