It is the goal of our program to assist our residents in becoming experts in surgical care.

The program seeks to give its residents the tools needed to sustain a lifetime of education, to become involved in and committed to the broader community and to pursue an awareness of the values in their lives which create satisfaction and self-actualization, both personally and professionally.

AIMS

The General surgery residency program is made up of residents and faculty who are engaged in the process of surgical education in order to provide surgical care to the community.
