The Residency is primarily comprised of four separate general/peripheral vascular services (White, Yellow, Blue, and Red) and a Thoracic service, which have a balanced level of admission and surgical operative caseload. The composition of each service is adjusted on an annual basis to appropriately reflect the activity of various attending surgeons. Although most general surgeons are involved in a variety of the principal components of general surgery, some services have a more predominant activity in one component versus another. The junior residents rotate through the various subspecialty and general services in PGY 1, 2, and 3 years. In the PGY4 year each resident rotates through three general services and a Thoracic service. In the PGY 5 year each resident rotates through the three general services and a vascular service three months per year. This repetitive rotation and balance of surgical admissions and operative caseload provides experience in all the principal components. Critical care experience is gained throughout the five years of residency with the primary responsibility on that service at the PGY1 and PGY 2 levels.
The management of emergency patients is
provided on all services. The comprehensive management of trauma occurs on the White
service. Much of the experience on the trauma service is obtained during
on-call hours in which the junior resident is a key member of the team with
senior and chief residents.
