Surgery Residency Program

The general surgery residency program at HCMC has a long tradition of excellence.  The residency program provides comprehensive education in the principal components of general surgery through a process of residency-oriented supervised continuity of care from the time of the first patient encounter to the time of discharge from the outpatient follow-up clinic.  The process is reinforced by repetition of clinical experience in the principal components throughout the difference levels of the residency.  The surgical teaching staff is highly qualified in all disciplines of surgery and dedicated to surgical education and scholarship.  The residency is five years in length with an optional year for research or fellowship.
