VCU Department of Surgery

This program is designed to provide a multidisciplinary exposure to the art and science of burn surgery. Throughout the two year period, the fellow will spend 12 months in clinical responsibilities and the other 12 months in basic science and clinical research (the periods can be intermingled). We are seeking ambitious surgeons with a minimum of three years of residency training and a commitment for training completion. The clinical portion of the fellowship involves all aspects of burn surgery including resuscitation, acute operative care, and reconstructive operations. The research opportunities include aspects of active research in resuscitation and wound healing.

The Evans-Haynes Burn Center at VCU Medical Center is the oldest Burn Center in the United States. The Burn Surgery Service is part of the Trauma Surgery section, being part of its Level I Trauma Center program.
