For 25 years, United States Surgical Corporation has trained hundreds of thousands of surgeons worldwide in developing the skills necessary to perform surgical procedures utilizing our state-of-the-art surgical stapling instrumentation. This commitment to education is now further supported by the establishment of several educational "Centers of Excellence" across the country. USSC is partnering with selected university programs who share an interest in investigating the frontiers of minimally invasive surgery. USSC's goal is to support each university in their vision for education and research, while fostering a collaborative relationship, allowing each institution to work independently or jointly on common goals, educational endeavors, and research activities. These Centers of Excellence include:
