ExCEL

ExCEL: Extracurricular Education and Leadership

Mission statement

The ExCEL program provides APOM trainees the opportunity to explore specific area(s) of interest beyond that required by the ACGME and ABA. ExCEL complements the core required curriculum while highlighting the importance of becoming a life-long independent learner. The ExCEL curriculum allows trainees to participate in supplementary learning experiences which will further their development as clinicians, educators, researchers, and leaders in the field of anesthesiology.
