Welcome to the Ira J. Kodner Surgical Society

Colorectal Surgery Fellowship

“Celebrated its 45th anniversary in 2025“

The Washington University in St. Louis/Barnes-Jewish Hospital Colorectal Surgery Fellowship celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2015, making it one of the longest-standing academic colon and rectal surgery fellowships in the United States. Our one-year clinical fellowship is board accredited for three positions each year. The colorectal surgery fellows work closely with 7 board-certified colorectal surgeons as well as gastroenterologists, pathologists, medical and radiation oncologists, enterostomal therapists, and professionals from other disciplines who expand and enhance the educational experience of the fellowship. The fellows have in-depth exposure to all aspects of colorectal disease and surgery.

The Section of Colon and Rectal Surgery also offers a research fellowship position. Interested candidates should contact the section for further information about this fellowship.
