ACS AEI Research Fellowship

We are looking for a motivated, ambitious candidate interested in our ACS AEI Research Fellowship to start in July 2024. The selected fellow will develop a portfolio of meaningful research and is expected to present broadly at national peer reviewed scientific meetings as well as participate in the education activities of the department and institution.

Fellowship experience consists of mentored education and simulation research, development of curriculum for medical students and residents and formal instruction in medical education principles. We are an integrated academic department of surgery with vast educational resources including MITIE, the Houston Methodist Institute for Technology, Innovation & Education.

The aim of the ACS AEI surgical simulation-based fellowship is twofold:

1. Advance surgical education by populating the field with well-prepared, motivated surgical simulation scholars and practitioners
2. Design, implement, and evaluate simulation-based surgical education programs that use evidence-based best practices.
