Our goal is that each chief resident finishes our program as a well-trained surgeon ready to face the myriad challenges of future surgical practice. The training program consists of a multi-faceted curriculum of didactic, technical, and educational instruction provided through regular conferences, technical labs, and seminars. The curriculum is designed to produce surgeons that have the knowledge, technical skills and professional standards necessary for a productive, successful career. Our institutional mission is to provide clinical training and research experience as the only designated academic medical center in the five state area of Washington, Alaska, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.
Graduates go on to fellowship and practice opportunities in nearly equal proportions.
Our chief residents finish with over 1,200 cases. They enter some of the top fellowships in the country and some of the best clinical and academic job opportunities available. We are continually working to improve what we think is an excellent program, and feel fortunate to be able to work in an environment that is intellectually stimulating, clinically exciting, and physically breathtaking. So, if you wish to join a team of dedicated, well-rounded individuals in one of the most exciting and challenging careers in medicine, please review our program and refer to our page on how to apply .
