NYU Grossman School of Medicine offers a five-year clinical General Surgery Residency in Manhattan that begins on July 1 of each year. The residency’s combined training sites are a rich and varied source of surgical patients, diseases, and care settings, making for comprehensive training. Each year we match eight first-year categorical residents for the residency. Additional residents match separately to preliminary positions prior to specialty training.

The residency is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and prepares residents for certification by the American Board of Surgery (ABS). After graduation, our residents routinely match in competitive fellowship programs in all sub-specialties, but also in their top fellowship program choices.

Meet our current residents and recent alumni.

Our residency program provides a wealth of clinical and operative experience, along with a variety of clinical and basic science research experiences. Our faculty are passionate about teaching and mentoring our diverse group of house staff. Progressive responsibility is the key element of the residency, with surgical decision-making and responsibilities taught in clinical and didactic settings.

As a part of our program, residents train at the following sites:

• NYU Langone’s Tisch Hospital and Kimmel Pavilion
• NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue
• Manhattan campus of the VA NY Harbor Healthcare System

Our institution provides a robust surgical curriculum of clinical and research experience under close guidance and supervision of our diverse faculty. Residents acquire a broad understanding of human biology as it relates to surgery as well as the technical knowledge and skills necessary to completely manage surgical patients.

We are focused on cultivating an inclusive environment where every voice is heard and all perspectives contribute to the collective success of our mission.

Our goal is to train surgeons who reflect the wide range of experiences and backgrounds of the communities we serve.
