    bullet point  General Surgery Residency Program
     
     
    The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine is ranked among the top medical schools in the United States, and its applicants are among the best and the brightest in the country. The school’s goal is to educate physicians who are science-based, skilled, and compassionate clinicians. One of the characteristics that sets the School of Medicine apart is its innovative curriculum, which features hands-on experience from UPMC combined with the disciplined academic focus of the University.

    The General Surgery Residency Training Program provides basic and advanced surgical experience for those seeking a career in general surgery as well as for those who plan to undertake further training in a surgical specialty. The program is designed to be flexible and meet the needs of individual surgeons, whether they are preparing for community practice or academic and research roles.

    Though broad-based, the residency emphasizes in-depth training, with graded operative responsibilities for few trainees selected rather than superficial and limited training for a large number. The size of the program encourages esprit de corps and commitment to high standards in patient care.
