ACGME Fellowships
The Department of Surgery offers the following ACGME fellowships:
Thoracic Surgery
OHSU's traditionally formatted two-year Thoracic Surgery Fellowship educational program is designed to emphasize the cooperation of cardiothoracic surgeons with other primary and specialty physicians to diagnose and treat lifelong disease states. This multidisciplinary team functions within a health care system toward economic and long-term outcome goals.

Colon & Rectal Surgery
The Colon & Rectal Surgery Fellowship at OHSU is one year in length and is for applicants who have completed a residency in general surgery. The program is unique due to the breadth of training across three different hospitals/practice models and one-on-one experience with faculty. We aim to graduate a fellow who is competent to treat a wide variety of problems of the colon and rectum and who is prepared for the independent practice of colon and rectal surgery. Individual weekly meetings with the Program Director are designed to ready the fellow to undergo the certification process by the American Board of Colon and Rectal Surgery.
The program was reaccredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education in September 2013, with no citations.
