3) A randomized clinical trial comparing laparoscopic and open surgery for rectal
cancer (COLOR II), Dr. Birch & colleagues.

Royal Alexandra Hospital is one of only two hospitals in Canada selected to take part
in this international randomized controlled trial.

Previous Research Experience

During my work at Monklands Hospital, I was directly involved in a re-auditing

process looking at the effect of introduction of laparoscopic specialist service at a
district general hospital and its effect on emergency biliary admissions. We collected
data prospectively after the introduction of this service looking at the hospital stay,
previous emergency admissions, recovery period and the effect of this service on the
overall acute biliary admissions. We also presented this audit at several national and
international conferences as illustrated by the publications above.

Career Aims and Intentions

It is my intention to advance my experience in general surgery. In addition I would

like to obtain further insight into academic surgery, how to plan, implement and
present a research project. I would also like to acquire the new technological aspects
in laparoscopic surgery as this is the field that interest me the most.

I have reached a level of competence where I can function independently and as a part
of a team providing high quality surgical services.
My long term goal is to ultimately lead a team providing a comprehensive high
quality surgical service.
