From the Program Director
Thank you for your interest in the Valley Health System - Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai General Surgery Residency Program. It is a rare opportunity to start your residency in a new program housed in a new hospital which makes for an exciting adventure. As the Chair of Surgical Services and your Program Director, it is my duty to use the 1685 days allotted to your training (1825 but they make us give you four weeks’ vacation per year!) to prepare you for your future. In that time, we must introduce you to the basic principles of the science of surgery and the core operations that we perform so that you may work on your skills and endurance for the career in surgery that you desire. Over those days, you will develop habits and attitudes that will form the foundation of your life in surgery. Our immediate goal is to prepare you for board certification in surgery but beyond that we want you to have a thriving career that brings you a sense of accomplishment and belonging in the surgical community.
