The Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons
Guide to Surgery
Taught by: Eric A. Rose, MD, and leading Columbia surgeons
E-Seminar Description
Far too often, patients blindly accept a recommendation to have surgery.
Whether overwhelmed by an abundance of confusing medical information, unwilling to question their physician's advice, or simply too afraid to consider the implications of surgery, many patients never truly evaluate their surgical options.
In this e-seminar, Eric A. Rose, MD, Chairman of the Department of Surgery at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons and Surgeon-in-Chief at Columbia University Medical Center, empowers patients with the necessary set of tools to make informed decisions about surgery.
For those patients who do choose to undergo surgery, this e-seminar also offers access to leading Columbia surgeons discussing important surgical procedures.
The procedural section will receive periodic updates with additional operations.
