Special Features
Our general surgery program offers a robust clinical experience of a tertiary medical center. The program is unique in our support for research for those interested while not requiring everyone to take years out. Our graduates have found success in many fellowship matches, but a small minority do go into general surgery practice. We prepare our residents well for their careers and we do so in a supportive, collaborative environment.
