"This is a great question; I'm looking forward to everything I will learn over the next two years. I'm probably most looking forward to learning the intricacies of gynecologic oncology procedures and breast tumor procedures as women's cancers are of high interest for me to practice in down the road."

During my residency training, I spent 6 months in a pancreatic department where I spent almost every day on a pancreatic resection. I think I have still a lot to learn about it and I would like to improve my mini-invasive capabilities in the pancreatic field.

Great job providing a specific procedure of interest.

This is a difficult question as there are so many intricate procedures I look forward to learning. However, the procedure I am most excited about is CRS/HIPEC as this is a special area of interest for me. Currently, this therapy is not offered in my home province where I hope to practice one day. I am currently involved in a needs assessment/cost analysis project in order to promote the need for this program. During my training, I hope to develop some additional elective time to excel in this procedure so that I can implement it for the population in my home province, who currently need to travel to obtain it.
