UTAH HEALTHCARE INSTITUTE/ST MARK'S ​​

Colon & Rectal
Surgery Fellowship

Program Overview

WHY CHOOSE OUR PROGRAM

The goal of the colorectal fellowship is to educate the next generation of colorectal surgeons to become compassionate and competent specialists in this exciting and evolving clinical discipline. Our program is rooted in all ACGME competencies. In this program, you will learn to provide compassionate, appropriate, and outcome-based patient care by learning about the latest advances in the clinical sciences relating to colon and rectal surgery and through practice-based learning and improvement. We train our physicians to lead with professionalism, competency, and care.  
Primary full-time teaching responsibilities are shared by attending physicians Michelle E. Murday, M.D., Abby Crume, D.O., Joseph Melvin, M.D., and Matthew Bobel, M.D.  Adjunct faculty include Bryce Haac, M.D., Austin Cannon, M.D., Ute Gawlick, M.D., H. Tae Kim, M.D.   All faculty members are board certified or board eligible in the specialty of colon and rectal surgery. Residents participate directly in surgical cases at MountainStar/HCA Hospitals (St Mark’s Hospital and Lone Peak Hospital) and Intermountain Healthcare Hospitals (Intermountain Medical Center, Latter Day Saints Hospital and Alta View Hospital) under the immediate direction and supervision of their assigned attendings for the month.

There is protected time for didactic conferences specifically tailored to the education of the residents, which include core curriculum lectures, morbidity and mortality conferences, research meetings, pelvic floor conference, NAPRC tumor board, and journal club.

Rotations are delineated by the residents assigned faculty members rather than by institution. The resident rotation functions as a preceptorship with their assigned attending who provides supervision of the residents’ activities.​
