The surgical laboratories of the Division of Surgical Research are well equipped with the latest analytical tools and animal surgery areas, and the technical personnel are very attuned to interactions with surgical resident investigators. The Neonatology basic science laboratory facilities, in the Kilguss building, are also available to resident projects. In addition, the perinatal physiology laboratory has been the center for investigations by the Pediatric Surgical Faculty.

The extent and content of the residency period precludes the initiation of a basic science program by the fellow. However, we will accommodate any visiting resident interested in Pediatric Surgery or allow a matched pediatric surgery fellow to start the program early to begin a research program which will be designed and mentored for completion during a three-year period.
