Members of the Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery at Mayo Clinic provide the highest quality surgical services in a caring and efficient manner while sustaining outstanding programs in research and education. This division is fully integrated with all the medical services available throughout Mayo Clinic.
Experts in all areas of colon and rectal disease consult with specialists in other departments, such as oncology and gastroenterology, to provide the best care to every patient. Colon and rectal surgeons evaluate elective preoperative patient evaluations, perform operative procedures, conduct postoperative care, and manage emergency colorectal conditions. Minimally invasive surgery and enhanced recovery pathways are a significant part of the practice. Colon and rectal surgeons work with state-of-the-art equipment to perform open, laparoscopic, and robotic surgical cases.
Our mission at Mayo Clinic is to meet the needs of our patients and advance the science of medicine through education and research. Our residents are trained to be leaders in their communities in surgical practice, quality, and safety.
Under our one-to-one mentorship model, you will receive personalized world-class training from well-respected surgeons in the field of colon and rectal surgery. You will rotate one month at a time, individually, with a faculty member twice per year. Having completed the Colon and Rectal Surgery Residency at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, I can personally attest to the effectiveness of this mentorship model.
Thank you for your interest in the Colon and Rectal Surgery Residency at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. I hope you will consider joining our program and taking advantage of all that it has to offer.
Dorin Colibaseanu, M.D.
