Surgical Education
General Surgery Residency Program

Goals and Objectives of PGY Level

PGY2 residents will begin to recognize that there are different successful ways to perform an operation. They begin to make choices of preferred style or approach. The resident will continue to assist at surgery and perform ED cases requiring suturing, incision and drainage. There will be chances to be the operating surgeon (with assistance from the chief resident or attending surgeon), on hernia, rectal, appendix, laparoscopic cholecystectomy and breast procedures.
