Carle General Surgery Research Group

The General Surgery Research Group has a very diverse interest among involved students. For this reason, the group has been further divided into several sub-groups, including GI-related Surgery, Trauma and Critical Care, Hand Surgery, and Transplant Surgery Subgroups. These subgroups each have their own mentors and student leadership. Please see the following groups to get involved.
