Get Early Operative Experience

It's no secret. The best way to become skilled in general surgery is to receive regular operative experience. Our Residents are in the operating room as early as week 3 of the program.  Our program structure will train, challenge, and prepare you for a successful career in surgery.

Curriculum Details

Curriculum

The five year curriculum is carefully and thoughtfully planned to maximize the educational and clinical experience. Our residents gain progressive responsibility throughout this period. Professionalism and clinical competence are two aspects that are especially emphasized. Upon graduation, the new surgeon is then able to successfully enter practice or pursue a fellowship.

Rotations

Rotation schedules provide a well rounded operative experience with increasing participation as residents progress through the program.

Research

Research is an important part of our program. We offer research opportunities in basic science, clinical, and surgical educational areas.

Didactics

We provide an extensive didactics program covering Morbidity and Mortality, Grand Rounds topics, chapter reviews and more.
