The curriculum is structured around the six ACGME Core Competencies: Patient Care, Medical Knowledge, Practice Based Learning, Interpersonal Communication Skills, Professionalism and System Based Practice.
Fellow educational experience is at one of the Orlando-area AdventHealth Orlando campuses, with a two-month rotation and one faculty as primary mentor. Each rotation is monitored by the program director to ensure compliance with ACGME competency regulations and completion of goals and learning objectives.
The fellows will learn the comprehensive educational curriculum, covering the components of colon and rectal surgery through clinical exposure, operative experience, didactic teaching and conference. Regular conferences will include didactic review of colorectal curriculum, M&M (including pathology and radiology discussions and pelvic floor), and journal club.
