Welcome,
Thank you for visiting our website to learn more about the New York Medical College at Metropolitan Hospital Center (MHC) General Surgery Residency Training Program. These two historic institutions have been formally affiliated since 1875. Although various residency programs in medical specialties have arisen within this partnership over the years, a shared General Surgery Program with MHC has not been a primary part of the medical school affiliation—until now.
As the Program Director of New York City's first new General Surgery training program in over 50 years, I am honored by the opportunity to build this program. We began humbly in 2012, and since then, the program has grown significantly, with the addition of affiliated rotations and an expanded resident complement. This growth has resulted in what I believe is an outstanding program, offering a thoughtfully curated learning experience for our trainees.
With more than 45 years of experience in training surgical residents, I feel uniquely qualified to organize and lead this program. Training surgical residents is not only an honor and a privilege, but also one of the greatest passions of my academic career. To date, I have trained approximately 140 chief residents in surgery, with about 40% of them pursuing careers in academic surgery and 30% of them being women. I take great pride in each and every resident I have graduated from the programs I have directed. I am confident that this program will continue to produce exceptional surgeons, whether they pursue rural surgery, general surgery, or any of the surgical sub-specialties.
I invite you to learn more about our program and partner institutions. We look forward to reviewing your applications and getting to know you better. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions about our residency program, the field of general surgery, or life in New York City.
Please take a moment to read about our program and partner institutions in detail. Likewise, we look forward to reading your applications and learning more about you. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have about our residency program, about the field of General Surgery, or about living in New York City.
I look forward to engaging with you directly during our upcoming meetings.
Sincerely,
