Overview
The Surgical Residency program is a five-year program, which is approved by the American Board of Surgery, and accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, which provides broad training in general surgery. There are six categorical residents and approximately fourteen preliminary residents accepted into the program each year. Preliminary residents come from urology, orthopedic, ENT, radiology, rehabilitative medicine, as well as anesthesia and other specialties.
The surgical program at St. Vincent's Manhattan has an active residency-training program with a structured curriculum that consists of formal weekly conferences with the Program Director and teaching faculty, along with weekly rounds held in each specialty, including the intensive care unit. Morbidity and Mortality conference and Grand Round lectures are held weekly with the Chairman of the department of surgery.
The residency is a graduated program of increasing responsibility in patient care and in operative surgery. Along with broad base exposure to general surgery, first and second year surgical residents have the opportunity to rotate on urology, plastic surgery, otolaryngology and neurosurgery as well as work in the outpatient surgery department under the supervision of teaching faculty who are certified in those fields. Furthermore, the residency training program also includes the potential for doing basic or clinical research, which includes preparation of scientific papers and abstracts for publication.
