The Surgical Education Center (SEC) was established in 2003, as a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to providing the highest quality surgical education and facilitating cutting-edge research in service to UCI faculty, residents, medical students and allied health professionals, including pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies as well as community surgeons. This center is utilized for educational surgical hands-on courses, translational and in-vivo studies, product development and prototype device testing, company sales team training, and community outreach. The Surgical Education Center has been continuously certified as a Level I Education Center by the American College of Surgeons since 2003. Indeed, it was among the first group of Education Centers across the country to be so designated.
