Fellowship in Laparoscopic Surgery 

Click here to go directly to the Application Form. 



Thank you for considering the laparoscopic surgery program at the University of
Southern California. This is a relatively new clinical program sponsored by a
medical school and department of surgery that has a long tradition in excellence in
surgical training and leadership.

The purpose of the fellowship program is to provide superior clinical training. You
will be exposed to basic and advanced laparoscopic cases in the setting of general
surgery. Academic and educational activites are an important component of the
fellowship. This includes participation in educational conferences, clinical rounds,
research publication and the training and teaching of surgical residents and
students. We anticipate that you will publish several papers during the time you
are at the University of Southern California. 

Please fill out the questionnaire and submit all required materials. An incomplete
application will only delay consideration and may result in denial. Interviews are
desirable and we will try to arrange the interview to be convenient with your
schedule. You can contact the secretary at (323) 442-5709 with any questions
you may have. 

Complete all information directly on the form. 
Please include a letter from your chief of surgery 
Please include two letters from physicians who are familiar with your work

Please include a photostatic copy of your medical license. 
Please include a list of your papers and investigative work.
