Since 2005, the Center for Surgery and Public Health has served as a critical waypoint in the development of the most brilliants minds in surgical services research, who have gone on to transform the field. We are immensely proud of our research fellow alumni and look forward to adding to their number. As one of the premiere programs in the country dedicated to surgical services research, our Research Fellowship program is at the heart of our mission, and central to our goal of educating the next generation of leaders in the field. We provide surgical residents and post-doctoral fellows with the educational opportunities, mentoring support, and resources necessary to take on the biggest challenges in healthcare. CSPH offers an interdisciplinary research experience, enhancing examinations of health services and policy questions. With support in the areas of research study design, project management, biostatistics, and data science, CSPH advances research agendas of our faculty and research trainees. A central space brings fellows together with faculty, biostatisticians, research, and project management staff, to create a “think tank” environment that facilitates the access to data, tools, and CSPH’s collective expertise.

Since the program’s inception, CSPH fellows have been consistently recognized regionally and nationally for their excellence in research, resulting in numerous awards, presentations, and publications. To date, CSPH has trained over 100fellows, who have gone on to become leaders in academic surgery and surgical health services research, contributing to the growth and improved understanding of the science of surgical care delivery.
