Center for Surgical Innovation (CSI)
The Center for Surgical Innovation (CSI) at the University of Colorado Denver was created as a local, national and international center of excellence in the evolving field of surgery. CSI is dedicated to teaching and disseminating leading edge surgical techniques to practicing surgeons, residents and medical students. Our comprehensive multi-specialty/multi-disciplinary group of faculty span all of the surgical specialties available at the University of Colorado Hospital. We have held 40 surgical courses from five different surgical specialties since February 2008. One of our main goals for 2009-2010 is to start promoting and implementing CME courses.
Three factors distinguish the University of Colorado CSI from other surgical training centers.
(1) The unique availability of expert surgical faculty from fifteen surgical specialties.
(2) The modern state of the art conference rooms, cadaver laboratory and animal facility.
(3) The proximity of our center to a major airport in the middle of the United States:
The surgical disciplines active at the University of Colorado CSI include:
| Advanced Laparoscopy | Orthopedic - Joint Replacement |
