Education

The Department of Surgery at Case Western Reserve University takes all necessary measures to prepare our surgical residents for the high level of performance required to become a specialist. Our training not only focuses on straight medical knowledge, but also incorporates patient care and professionalism. Our residents graduate as well-rounded, knowledgeable surgeons, able to provide exceptional care.‌

In addition to our residency program, the Department of Surgery offers postgraduate education and training.  Our mission with postgraduate education and training is to advance research and education in surgical science across all disciplines and specialties regionally, nationally and internationally.  Many training opportunities are offered throughout the year, including on-site courses, web symposiums, preceptorships, re-entry into practice, and much more.
