Program Info

Each year three individuals will be chosen for the Categorical General Surgery Training Program. The three individuals in the General Surgery Categorical track are expected to become future outstanding community practitioners and leaders in surgery. They will strive to provide their residents with a customized and individualized graduated surgical development experience over a five year period providing the resident the opportunity to meet ACGME milestones and respecting the goals and prior experiences of the individual resident. The model includes an apprenticeship with experienced private faculty surgeons and a team-based arrangement guided by an attending faculty surgeon. Upon completion of the chief resident (PGY-5) year training, their graduates will be eligible to take the American Board of Surgery written and oral examinations and they should be good candidates for advanced clinical training in any of the surgical subspecialties.
