Surgical Residency Training Program

Vision
The Department of Surgery will endeavor to evolve as a model for primary and tertiary patient care services, integrating all aspects of a case including inpatient, ambulatory, and emergency services. The faculty will provide the surgical resident with a progressively graded curriculum of study and clinical experience under guidance and supervision. The surgical resident will acquire a broad understanding of human biology as it relates to disorders of a surgical nature and the technical knowledge and skills appropriate to completely manage patients with surgical diseases.

Overview
The Surgical Residency Training Program is a major academic responsibility of the Department of Surgery, with sections of general, gastrointestinal, oncologic, pediatric, transplantation, plastic, and vascular surgery. The surgical specialties of cardiothoracic, neurosurgery, urology, otolaryngology and orthopedics are separate departments with their own approved residency training programs.

The department serves 441 surgical beds in three hospitals-Tisch University Hospital, Bellevue Hospital Center and the VA. NYU Hospitals Center has a distinguished tradition of providing advanced surgical care for all New Yorkers as well as to those referred from afar. The residency has been designed to provide experience with all the established and developing disciplines of general surgery and its branches as well as the experience with specialties necessary to complete the training of a general surgeon.
