Didactics
A weekly educational conference is provided by the Department of Colon and Rectal Surgery. Presentations include core curricular topics as well as Interesting Case Presentations, Morbidity and Mortality presentations and a monthly Tumor Board. Weekly, a GI Radiology Conference is sponsored by the Department of Radiology and a GI Pathology Conference is presented by the Department of Pathology. A Journal Club is held monthly.

The colon and rectal surgical resident is also invited to attend the various conferences presented by the Department of Surgery as he/she finds appropriate.


Research
A research project is required for completion of the program. Recent poster and podium presentations have been made at the meetings of the Michigan Society of Colon and Rectal Surgery, as well as the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgery. This includes a poster presentation honored with the Pennsylvania Society of Colon and Rectal Surgery award in 2000.

Ongoing research projects offer immediate opportunities for each resident. Ample clinical material allows for a wide spectrum of potential clinical research projects.

Outcomes
All graduates of the Beaumont residency in colon and rectal surgery have been certified by the American Board of Colon and Rectal Surgery. This accomplishment speaks to the quality of the educational program.

Graduates of our program are practicing colon and rectal surgery in such diverse geographical sites as Tennessee, Texas and Missouri, and as faculty members at William Beaumont Hospital.
