Fellow research and travel are supported by both the Division of Colorectal Surgery and an extensive yearly budget for fellow travel costs and professional development opportunities.
The Division strongly supports opportunities for the fellow to travel to academic conferences such as the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, present research, and participate in courses.
The University of Wisconsin Department of Surgery has plentiful research support within the department, including statisticians, publication assistance, grants, trials, and training assistance. The Department ranks 8th nationally in NIH funding.
