 This
five-year residency program prepares individuals for board certification in
General Surgery. It is a progressive program that provides the resident
with increasing responsibility beginning with instruction and guidance in
the evaluation and care of surgical patients. Early concentration is placed
on pathology, anatomy, radiology, oncology, anesthesia and nutrition as
these relate to surgery. Residents first serve as scrubbed assistants with
surgical teams, performing portions of simple surgical procedures during the
second year as ability permits. Residents rotate through major tertiary
care hospitals for trauma, surgical oncology as well as pediatric and
cardiovascular surgery. The fourth year resident assumes the position of
Chief Resident in surgery under the supervision of the Director and Chief of
Surgery. |
