There are clinical case conferences weekly for Trauma, GI, Surgical Oncology, Thoracic, and Vascular Surgery. Grand Rounds are held on Thursday morning, and a Basic Science Lecture course held on Saturday morning. Efforts are made to provide vacations in the month desired. We feel that cross-coverage of services in which the resident has no real role in the care of the patients other than for night or weekend coverage is of no real educational value for the resident and is ot in the patients best interest. All call schedules are designed for the residents educational experience and the continuity of care of patients, rather than service needs.
Parking is available to house officers in the hospital s parking garages.
A stipend is provided in the salary to cover the cost. Application Appointments to the first year of general surgical training are administered under the National Resident Matching Program. The deadline for submitting the application and all supporting materials is December 1 st . All candidates for positions in the c ategorical , five-year program are required to be present at an interview given at the hospital each year. A schedule of the dates, usually in January, is sent to candidates in early December.
