| The first two years include the
primary components of general surgery and rotations through the following
subspecialty services: vascular, SICU, orthopedics, plastics, and pediatric
surgery. Three quarters of the third year is spent on general surgery services;
the remaining quarter is a two month transplant rotation and a one month
elective. Residents spend their fourth and fifth years on general surgery
services; fifth year residents function as chief residents, satisfying the
requirements for eligibility to the American Board of Surgery. Ninety percent
of the five years of training are spent on the surgical services of the
Hospital of Saint Raphael. Extramural rotations are done in Pediatrics
(Connecticut Children’s Medical Center), Transplant (Hartford Hospital) and
Burns (Bridgeport Hospital).
