Fellowship Faculty
Our faculty are involved with fellowship training and each has their own subspecialty interest and expertise. This provides excellent opportunities for mentorship in all areas of adult reconstructive surgery.
The program has been successful in training surgeons who practice in community and academic settings in the United States, as well as Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. There are opportunities for ongoing research participation, as well as teaching and interaction with the University of Minnesota Residency Program.
