Surgery Residency Program

Welcome and thank you for your interest in the General Surgery Residency Program at St. Barnabas Hospital.  The curriculum of this ACGME-accredited surgical residency is focused around medical knowledge, patient care, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, practice-based learning and improvement, and systems-based practice.

The primary purpose of our program is to provide advanced and concentrated training in general surgery to foster the critical thinking of our residents and medical students.  We are confident that the training experience will develop the attitudes, skills, and knowledge of a physician necessary to efficiently provide quality surgical care.

The program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education for four (4) years of training, leading to eligibility to sit for the ABS Boards in General Surgery.  There is approval for twelve (12) residents from PGY 2 through PGY 5 positions.  We also have approval for three (3) surgical PGY 1 interns as well.
