The M.Sc. in Surgical and Interventional Sciences with concentration in 鈥楽urgical Outcomes Research鈥� offers a graduate-level training program focused on the science of measuring and improving the outcomes of surgical patients. This concentration aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to start a successful career as a surgical outcomes researcher.
With an estimated 312 million surgical procedures performed worldwide every year, the World Health Organization deems that improving the quality and safety of surgical care is a global public-health concern. The increasing need for robust research aimed to assess and improve the outcomes of surgical patients has created a demand for researchers who are skilled in the design, conduct, and critical appraisal of studies focused on surgical outcomes. This M.Sc. concentration, tailored to the training needs of future surgical outcomes researchers, capitalizes on this emerging demand.
Students in this concentration will complete coursework addressing research methods, biostatistics, and strategies to measure and improve postoperative outcomes.
The thesis portion of this concentration consists of the supervised preparation of a M.Sc. thesis targeting a topic related to surgical outcomes research. The project supervisor and the thesis project must be selected at the time of application.
