Education and Training
The St. Vincent’s Colorectal Department has led the way with sub specialty colorectal training in Australia beginning when Rod Woods was appointed as the first colorectal Fellow in 1985. The Colorectal Surgical Society of Australia and New Zealand has run a formal colorectal training Fellowship program since 1990 and St. Vincent’s is enormously proud of its history of training colorectal surgeons and their wide influence in Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere.
