SURGICAL
RESIDENCY PROGRAM
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
All PGY-1 positions are filled through the National
Resident Match Program (NRMP) with the electronic
residency application service (ERAS). All applications
are reviewed through ERAS. Our
application deadline is
November 5, 2010. Three interview days
for categorical candidates are held from November
through January.
Criteria for categorical and preliminary candidates:
Applicants with minimum USMLE scores of 93% will be
considered. Only the
J-1 Visa will be sponsored. ECFMG Certificates must be
received in time to begin the program on June 24, 2011.
On occasion, advanced positions at the PGY-2 or PGY-3
level become available for residents desiring one or two
years of surgical training.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Accredited by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical
Education, the surgical residency training program offers
both categorical and preliminary training programs. The
five-year categorical program leads to residents being
eligible for examination by the American Board of Surgery.
Three residents are matched in the categorical track each
year. The current compliment of residents includes 32
residents and a breast fellow.
House Staff Operative Log Documentation:
We participate in the ACGME web based record keeping
program. Based on the requirements of the ACGME's Residency
Review Committee, each resident maintains a record of all
cases in which he or she participates. The house staff
officer's experience is reviewed periodically to ensure a
complete and balanced exposure to the components of general
surgery is obtained. |

Ginzburg and Stoller Awards |
|
Each
year the Attendings in the Department of Surgery are asked to
nominate two residents whom they feel merit the honor of receiving
the prestigious Leon Ginzburg Achievement Award and the Norman M. Stoller Award.
The Ginzburg Award
is for a current chief resident, completing the Surgical Residency
Program, who has demonstrated outstanding leadership and surgical
skills. This year’s award went to Handel Robinson, MD.
The Norman M. Stoller Award is presented to an intern who has shown
outstanding qualities of devotion and dedication displayed to their
patients. This year’s recipient is Margaret Bower, MD. Dr. Bower is
a categorical resident in our program.
Handel Robinson, MD and
