Fellowships
VCE Fellowship Programming
The Vice Chair of Education sponsors department-wide events throughout the year to support the development of our trainees. Individual fellowship programs may have additional events; please refer to your program for more information.
Fellows Balance in Life Education Retreat
This is an annual wellness retreat held as part of the Balance in Life curriculum. All fellows are required to attend, and residents/attendings will help cover services. Past events have included high ropes courses, scavenger hunts, and an evening dinner event with families.
Fellows Seminar Series
This is an educational program for all first-year fellows, with a focus on professional development, administrative responsibilities, and career transitioning. The sessions are typically in-person, and dinner is provided. Topics include: • Fellows as Educators |
Fellows 1:1 BIL Sessions
Each fellow is automatically scheduled to meet with Dr. Lisa Post individually, twice a year as part of our Balance in Life Program. Dr. Post is a clinical professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, and she has offered counseling sessions for Department of Surgery trainees for several years. These are confidential check-ins that can provide an opportunity to safely reflect or access additional resources.
Fellows End-of-Year Celebration Dinner
This is an opportunity for all the fellows within the department to get together one last time before many graduate. This is not a formal graduation ceremony, as your program will likely have its own individual graduation dinner/event planned.
