About Us
From our trainees in undergraduate medicine and residency through our faculty, our work reflects a culture of inquisitiveness and a drive to address new challenges. With advances in technology and innovation, the future for surgery has never been brighter.
A passion for study is an essential component of improving surgical care. With diverse backgrounds, experiences and training, our shared spirit of collaboration in Saskatchewan fosters innovation and excellence. The Department of Surgery advocates for research as integral to the challenges and solutions for health care in Saskatchewan. I am eager to continue, along with the dedicated members of the Surgery Research Committee, our shared vision to be a model for basic surgical science and clinical-translational surgical research in Canada. I want to grow the research intensiveness in each of our Divisions to facilitate a new level of success at the national and international level. Daryl R.
