Colorectal Surgery
The ACGME-accredited colon and rectal surgery residency (fellowship) program in UC Irvine’s Division of Colon & Rectal Surgery is designed to develop skills in all aspects of colon and rectal surgery.  The resident will have a comprehensive experience in the management of both common and complicated problems faced by colon and rectal surgeons.  Aside from the evaluation of patients in the office, endoscopy, and non-operative management strategies, the resident will also learn the surgical management of diseases of the colon, rectum, and anus.  These techniques will include advanced laparoscopic, single-incision and robotic-assisted procedures.

Gastrointestinal Surgery - Minimally Invasive Surgery
The fellowship program in gastrointestinal surgery consists of an extensive endoscopic experience, including a wide variety of advanced laparoscopic procedures as well as gastrointestinal endoscopy. Each fellow will spend 10 months with gastrointestinal (bariatric/foregut) services and two months with colorectal services.
