 The SIU Surgical Performance Group includes surgeons, scientists, program designers and developers whose research, development and dissemination efforts are centered on fostering acquisition and maintenance of surgical practices that reliably lead to desired patient outcomes. This group:
1. conducts research, development, and dissemination activities on effective methods for acquiring and maintaining desirable surgical practices.
2. trains others in the research, development and organizational skills needed for work in this area, and
3. engages in other activities designed to encourage and support effective surgical training throughout the world.
The SIU Surgical Performance Group members listed above have research, development and dissemination commitments and responsibilities that are aligned directly with the mission of the SIU Surgical Performance Group. They carry primary responsibility for its success in achieving its mission. A number of other Departmental faculty contribute to the mission of the Surgical Performance Group as part of their research, development and dissemination commitments.
