There are 13 residents at the junior level and four residents each at the third, fourth, and fifth levels. One or two residents are engaged in full time research annually. Fellowship opportunities include Vascular Surgery, Trauma, and Critical Care.
The program is under the directorship of the Chairman of the EVMS Department of Surgery, and the Directors of Surgery of the participating hospitals (see Training Sites for descriptions):
The primary teaching hospital, Sentara Norfolk General, has the region's only Level I Shock Trauma Center, which provides an outstanding trauma experience for residents. The unique blend of academic and private surgeons at these multiple sites provides an opportunity for residents to gain a wide variety of operative and patient management experience. |
The General Surgery Residency Program at the Eastern Virginia Medical School is designed to educate clinical surgeons for a career in the practice of General Surgery. The program offers supervised education in the art and science of surgery so that, upon completion of the fifth year of responsibility, the resident is able to practice independently and is eligible to sit for the American Board of Surgery examination.
