研究生/居民是学术研究计划不可或缺的一部分，被认为是“研究的初级同事”。学术部门的研究成功与否很大程度上取决于学生所从事的工作。要使外科系成为真正的学术系，必须对研究生（基础科学和外科住院医师）进行培训是基于积极研究计划的基础。许多基础科学专业的毕业生继续在北美完成高级学位（博士学位，医学博士学位）或博士后研究金。许多临床住院医师通常不仅根据其临床能力而且还根据他们的学术参与度而获得声望很高的奖学金，无论是硕士还是博士学位。该部门提供的课程均可获得外科理学硕士学位（MSc），医学硕士学位。专门从事外科教育
Graduate students/residents are an integral part of the academic research program and are considered ‘junior colleagues in research'. The success of the academic department's research relies heavily on the work students are involved in.For the Department of Surgery to be a truly academic department it is essential that the training of graduate students (basic science and surgical residents) is based on a foundation of an active research program. Many basic science graduates go on to complete advanced degrees (PhD, MD) or postdoctoral fellowships across North America. Many clinical residents are often awarded prestigious fellowships based not only on their clinical abilities but also on their academic involvement, whether at the Masters or PhD level.The department offers programs leading to the degrees of Master of Science (MSc) in Surgery, Master of Science with specialization in Surgical Education and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Surgery.PhD students are required to take a candidacy exam within two years of the start of their program. The time required to complete the PhD is a minimum of three years to a maximum of six years dependent on previous training and the nature of the research undertaken.
