Surgery

General Surgery

During the General Surgery rotation, residents are exposed to surgeries of the abdomen, alimentary tract, breast, endocrine system and head and neck surgery. Laparoscopic and endoscopic programs further enrich our residents' experiences. The Division's philosophy is that only with active "hands on" participation in the medical and surgical care of the patient can residents achieve their true potential. Consequently, the faculty fosters a program of progressive responsibility of patient care, beginning with the first postgraduate year.
