Surgical Team at work UMDNJ-School of Osteopathic Medicine, Department of Surgery is committed to producing a qualified, competent, practitioner of surgery by providing an educational environment, exposure to patient care, and guidance into leadership roles.

The four-year program in General Surgery at UMDNJ-SOM fulfills the basic requirements for eventual certification in General Surgery. Residents in the program engage in the allied fields of surgery, including medicine, oncology, pathology and anesthesia, through in-depth involvement in a wide variety of cases and exposure to a diverse patient population.

“This is an excellent residency program. It is well balanced.... the program has enough but not too much didactics and is very strong in operative experience. This is the best aspect of the program. You come out of here able to operate.”

“The program offers a variety of cases-- everything from
transplant to bread-and-butter general surgery. And you are in the OR from day one. There also is a
good working atmosphere between all of the residents
and the attendings.”
