Chattanooga Colon and Rectal Fellowship
Our program conducts virtual interviews only to promote fair and equitable opportunities for all applicants.
Prior to entering the Colon and Rectal Fellowship, applicants must have completed an approved ACGME or RCPSC five-year General Surgery residency and be board eligible in general surgery.
The Colon and Rectal Fellowship program does not require applicants to have a current Tennessee medical license during the fellowship training process. However, to be eligible for certification by the American Board of Colon and Rectal Surgery, applicants must have a current full and unrestricted license to practice medicine in a state, territory, or possession of the United States or Canada and must remain licensed throughout the certification process.
