The most important indicator of the success of a training program is found in the outcomes of the graduates upon completion of their training.

Mayo Clinic is where the best practice. I was able to learn how to take out gallbladders from an HPB surgeon and how to take out colons from a colorectal surgeon, learning the best from the best. This also includes other specialties. I had several opportunities to go into GI and IR suites and learn from these extremely advanced shared cases. There is a very clear open-door policy, so I was able to learn so much more from other specialties which has helped me better care for my patients.
