Program Overview

The general surgery residency is a five-year program encompassing all aspects of general surgery as well as surgical sub-specialties, with an optional 1-2 years of research available. By the time of graduation our residents are well prepared for both competitive fellowships or entering general surgery practice.  

During their five clinical years, residents rotate through the surgical subspecialties, trauma, burn, general surgery and community general surgery rotations. 

Eight categorical residency positions are offered each year, two dedicated research track positions and six clinical (research optional) positions.  We also offer 14 preliminary internship positions annually. Read an overview about the program.
