Educational Opportunities

Fellows participate weekly, with core faculty members, in pre-op conference, M&M (monthly), journal clubs, grand rounds. The MIGS Fellows Didactic sessions are dedicated to fellow education and on average occur 3 times a month where MIGS faculty lecture on topics required by FMIGS. There are also joint lectures and joint journal clubs that occur with all of the FMIGS programs in Connecticut.

Fellows have 24-hour access to the Maynard Stowe Library at the UConn School of Medicine in Farmington, CT. This gives fellows access to specialty-specific and other appropriate reference material in print or electronic form. Additionally, fellows have 24-hour access through the library to multiple different search engines, data bases and on-line journals. Fellows may utilize these resources to participate in regularly scheduled didactic meetings and journal clubs. The fellow will also have access to the simulation centers located on both campuses where robot simulators are available for training.
