Colorectal Surgical Oncology Fellowship Clinical Research and Scholarship
Research interests are discussed at the start of the Colorectal Surgical Oncology Fellowship and a faculty mentor is assigned. Each fellow is expected to design and complete one project during the year, submit the work for presentation at a national meeting and prepare it for publication. Biostatistical support is available through Moffitt's Biostatistics and Bioinformatics shared resource and institutional data are accessible through Collaborative Data Services.
Fellows may enroll patients in investigator-initiated and cooperative-group trials open at Moffitt. Search current studies open at Moffitt.
