Welcome to the
General Surgery Residency Training Program
New York Medical College at Metropolitan Hospital Center
Diversity
New York Medical College and this program has a rich history/tradition of being one of the first Medical Colleges in NY committed to diversity and equity.
​
The true strengths of our surgery residency program is in the diversity of our residents and faculty, which mirrors the cultural diversity of New York City.
General Surgery Residency Consists:
While there are now a handful of women heading up surgical departments in the United States and Canada, there is still a long way to go. In North America, A survey of surgeons carried out at the turn of the current century showed 20.3% of surgeons were female.
​
There are still so many challenges facing women in surgery today: pay equity, economics, family leave, healthcare reform, changes in academic medicine, resident education, and work-life balance. Many of these issues affect both men and women, majority and minority groups, and they affect their ability to do their jobs and live their lives well.
