Rural general surgery training: the Gundersen Lutheran approach
Abstract
This article outlines the approach taken at Gundersen Lutheran Medical Foundation to prepare general surgery residents for rural general surgery practice. The methods focus on strong core training in general and minimally invasive surgery, additional technical skill sets, rural surgery electives, outcomes-based research experience, practice management education, and maintenance of relationships with graduates after residency.
