Medical College of Wisconsin MIGS Bariatric Fellowship Current and Former Fellows

We expect that on completion of our fellowship training our fellow will possess the tools to be an outstanding minimally invasive surgeon and a future academic leader. The MCW fellowship offers a true academic experience and our fellows successfully transition to specialty-specific practices as surgeons advancing the field of minimally invasive surgery and bariatrics.
