Organisation
The department of Surgical Sciences is responsible for undergraduate courses, part of the medical, nursing, logopedic and biomedical program. Furthermore, the department is responsible for several programs in the nursing profession as well as separate courses and supplementary courses.
Research
Research within the department is conducted by different research groups according to specialities within the field of surgery. Cooperation between the different groups is essential as is cooperation with other institutions and universities in Sweden and abroad.
An overall goal of research is to contribute to the development of health care. Due to the patient-oriented nature of the activities, there are often good conditions for influencing the direction and content of healthcare. Some of the research is directly patient-oriented, other projects have a more general character such as basic research or epidemiological research, and there is often a link to clinical issues.
