What our Residents say about the program

“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.”
