The Surgical faculty at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences is dedicated to providing excellent residency training for the best and brightest students. Our goal is to create an unusually constructive and productive learning environment in which we emphasize inpatient and outpatient care, technical skills, and research. We expect our graduates to be technically and clinically superb surgeons, and to be individuals committed to the tradition of life-long learning, teaching, and advancing the science of surgery. Our graduating residents are encouraged to proceed to careers in academic surgery or university-affiliated positions. Our program offers categorical training in General Surgery as well as preliminary training for many surgical specialties.
