Surgical Education
General Surgery Residency Program

Goals and Objectives of PGY Level

We attain our mutual objectives by:

• Guiding residents in basic biologic phenomena that constitute the foundation of surgical practice.

• Providing opportunities for direct and responsible patient management in the primary components of general surgery.

• Pioneering surgical technology. MMC was the first hospital in New Jersey to perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy and has launched a full array of advanced laparoscopic procedures. The Jacqueline M. Wilentz Comprehensive Breast Center is led by a multidisciplinary group that has made it one of the leading breast centers in the country. A protocol tested sentinel lymph node procedure was another first for the southern part of the state.
