Goals and Objectives of PGY Level

PGY4
Philosophy
:
The fourth year resident is called the "Senior Resident" and serves as the Chief Resident's key ally. At this point, you should be certain that you will be happy and comfortable in general surgery or will proceed to one of the subspecialties such as vascular, colorectal, pediatric, oncologic, cardiothoracic or plastic and reconstructive surgery. There are certain subspecialties that do not require five years of general surgery prior to fellowship. It is up to you to research these details and ask all the questions necessary to make decisions.

Clinical:
The resident will rotate between MMC and NBIMC. He/she will also spend two months at the Jersey Shore Regional Trauma Center. The resident will have total immersion in trauma and gain significant experience. In all the rotations, advanced surgical judgment and technical skills will be developed.
