 There are two surgical services at Sinai Hospital. The
Red Surgery service is focused around trauma surgery, emergency general
surgery, pediatric surgery, vascular surgery and surgical oncology; and the Blue
Surgery service is centered on elective general surgery, thoracic surgery,
minimally invasive surgery and bariatric surgery. All residents will rotate an equal
amount of time on each service throughout each year of training.
On each service, the resident will work with and be supported by a complement of
experienced mid-level providers (nurse practitioners and physician assistants).
Medical and students of allied health professions rotate on the surgical
services throughout the year. The resident will assume a partnership as
well as a teaching and supervisory (chief resident) role to these various providers,
in accordance to his or her level of training.
The goal of the general surgery rotations is to give the resident a broad and
well-rounded experience in the principal surgical specialties required by the ACGME
and ABS. The operative volume with over 3,000 cases per year in the department is
such that each resident will finish his or her training well above
the level required for board certification.
Patient care in and out of the operating room is complemented by
a comprehensive schedule of outpatient and educational activities (see
Education), as well as an array of specific courses and certifications that will
complete the well-rounded training experience in general surgery at Sinai
Hospital.
