Opportunities for independent or collaborative research activities exist. The appointee is expected to be involved in professional outreach, committee service, and curriculum development.

Additional capabilities include an integrated 3D printing and surgical planning service for patient-specific modelling and procedural planning, as well as a regenerative medicine platform supporting biologic therapies, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), mesenchymal stem cell therapies, and other orthobiologic treatments. General surgery is similarly well-equipped with laparoscopy, Ligasure and Caiman bipolar vessel sealing devices, a variety of 1, 1.5, and 3m flexible endoscopes, CO2 and diode laser, electrochemotherapy unit, and intra-operative C-arm fluoroscopy.
