American College of Surgeons: Clinical Scholars ProgramAmerican College of Surgeons: Scholars in Residence Program
The American College of Surgeons (ACS) is offering a two-year fellowship in outcomes research and health policy. The ACS has one position available every year for a surgical resident who has completed two or three clinical years of training and is a United States citizen. The fellow will work in multiple areas on cutting edge programs within the Division of Research and Optimal Patient Care to conduct clinical research, further the research and policy objectives of the College, and improve the care of surgical patients. The primary objective will be to address issues in patient safety, health care quality, and health policy. Areas of focus will include surgical oncology (National Cancer Data Base, NCDB), surgical quality improvement (National Surgical Quality Improvement Project, NSQIP), trauma (National Trauma Data Bank, NTDB), and a variety of other possibilities with the Division of Research and Optimal Patient Care which will be based on the applicant’s interests and the objectives of the College (guideline development, accreditation programs, health policy, etc). The goal of the Scholar in Residence Program is to help prepare a surgical resident for a career in academic surgery through a unique, practical research and health policy experience at the American College Surgeons. The program includes the opportunity to earn a Master’s of Science in Clinical Investigation (MSCI) or the Master’s in Healthcare Quality and Patient Safety through Northwestern University’s Schools of Medicine, Public Health, and the Institute for Healthcare Studies. The Scholar will also be able to participate in resident educational activities through Northwestern University’s Department of Surgery. The Research Fellow would also participate in the College’s various educational programs such as the Outcomes Research Course, Young Surgical Investigators Course, and Clinical Trials Course.
