Our Clinical Fellows

We are delighted to introduce our clinical fellows who are participating in the Section's Colorectal Surgery Residency Training Program.

John M. Trombold, MD
Leawood, KS, native John M. Trombold, MD, joined the Section of Colon & Rectal Surgery as colorectal surgery fellow in July 2011.

“Not many programs offer the breadth and depth of training as the University of Louisville,” he says. “I knew I would gain extensive experience from the Section’s faculty.”

During his tenure at UofL, Trombold is becoming skilled in the latest medical and surgical therapies for inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer—including laparoscopic and robotic techniques.

While in college at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, he participated in a medical mission trip to the Dominican Republic. His exposure to surgery there helped him decide to become a surgeon. A 2006 graduate of the University of Kansas School of Medicine, Kansas City, Trombold completed his general surgery residency at the University of Louisville. “It is very rewarding to directly participate in the healing process.”

When Trombold completes his fellowship, he and his wife, Michelle, will return close to home and practice in Springfield, MO. “I look forward to helping people with colorectal disease return to active and healthy lives,” he says.
