 Sinai Hospital is a large community-based tertiary care
center and Maryland's third largest teaching hospital. In the Department
of Surgery and affiliated specialties the group of categorical surgical
12 residents will be exposed to over 4,000 cases per year, in both inpatient and
outpatient setting.
The breadth of exposure for the resident includes all essential
components of general surgery, as well as specialties like orthopedics, neurosurgery,
gynecology & GYN oncology, urology, soft-tissue
surgery, and so forth (see rotations and schedules
).
Although the surgical resident will receive the majority of his or her
training at Sinai Hospital, we have carefully chosen strategic teaching
institutions of outstanding reputation and high clinical volume to
supplement the training of each resident. For a more detailed description
of each institution and their educational rationale, please visit
the appropriate Web sites.
Due to work-hour restrictions and other recent
changes in resident education, a large number of training programs in
surgery have been forced to limit or completely remove the majority of
(sub-)specialty and strategic outside hospital rotations to cover
services within the main hospital.
In contrast to
this approach, the Department of Surgery at Sinai Hospital has designed
the general surgery residency with a focus on well-balanced and
broad-based education. Although most services and learning opportunities are
available within the main hospital, strategic affiliations and specialty
rotations at outstanding, high volume teaching institutions in the region
are designed to complement the resident�s experience.
