About the Program
The human tissue laboratory gives residents, the backbone of our health care work force, the opportunity to study the arts and signs of anatomy in a controlled situation so they can faciliate their learning and thus become better surgeons. The opportunity for the surgical residents to have this type of facility further enhances the training programs at Duke, which are among the best in the country.

Surgical Training and Research Lab
The Surgical Training and Research Lab was designed to give surgical residents, fellows and attendings additional training in human anatomy and to enable them to perfect surgical procedures for operating room use. It also affords the medical faculty the opportunity to test and perfect biomedical technology. Their goal is to continue to develop life-saving, non-invasive surgical procedures that can be used in operating rooms throughout the country.
