Surgical Education
General Surgery Residency Program

Goals and Objectives of PGY Level

(cont'd)

We attain our mutual objectives by:

• Providing experience in specialties of pediatric, plastic and reconstructive, cardiothoracic, ENT, orthopaedic, urologic, and neurologic surgery.
• Expecting the resident to become an effective teacher of medical students and junior residents and assume increasing administrative responsibility culminating in the final year as Chief Resident.
• Establishing and maintaining an atmosphere that encourages the open interchange of knowledge and experience. Televideo conferences occur between MMC and NBIMC residents for clinical research planning on Mondays, and core curriculum basic science review sessions on Thursdays.
• Promoting surgical research and national presentations and publications. Quality research is rewarded in a yearly paper competition. Any level resident may present high quality research at a national conference.
