Very proud of our faculty, residents, and staff that do the amazing work to improve the health of the public through clinical care, research, and teaching.

The UW Medical Center is now certified as a Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery! This credential makes the UW the first major academic center on the West Coast with this distinction.

Robotic surgery is an important part of residency training. Introducing the next gen of robotic surgeons: our outstanding interns learning robot basics! "Pass the truth to the next generation, teach them early what we learn late." UW Surgery Residents UW Department of Surgery
