Welcome from our Program Director

Thank you for your interest in our General Surgery program. We are a well-rounded new program, with our first class of 3 categorical surgery residents. We have an outstanding faculty with a breath of subspecialties, including Pediatric Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Surgical Oncology (hepatopacreatobiliary, gastrointestinal, breast, melanoma, endocrine), Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, and excellent case volume. Our faculty employ all modalities, including minimally invasive and Da Vinci robotic techniques through which they train our residents. Additionally, we are very proud of our newly completed state-of-the-art Simulation Center with virtual reality laparoscopic and endoscopic trainers, ultrasound trainers, central venous access, endotracheal intubation trainers, and a full-time Simulation Center manager to optimize surgical resident training. We have 3 categorical spots per year. Our program is a part of the HCA GME family, which is the largest GME provider in the United States.
