Education
UC Irvine- John Wayne Foundation Complex General Surgical Oncology Fellowship
The Division of Surgical Oncology Service offers medical students, residents and fellows a rich educational experience with many common malignancies. In addition to our high volume melanoma program, our experienced surgical oncologists specialize in thyroid and parathyroid cancer, breast cancer and sarcoma.
Along with the clinical and technical experience, residents and students are exposed to the latest clinical trials and basic science research in each disease. Our comprehensive clerkship program offers the opportunity to evaluate patients at the UC Irvine Breast Center. Residents and medical students rotating on the Surgical Oncology service receive a syllabus at the start of the rotation and additional educational material chosen by the faculty.
