General Surgery Residency: Manhattan

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.

Our Commitment to Diversity

Leaders in the Department of Surgery are committed to actively recruiting a diverse group of house staff, administrative employees, faculty members, and advanced practice providers. We aspire to create an environment in which all members are treated equally, and all opinions and views are respected.

At NYU Langone, our goal is to train a diverse complement of surgeons who represent the populations we serve. We recognize that exposure to the elite training our program offers can deeply impact aspiring medical professionals from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds and those who wish to care predominantly for people in underserved and marginalized communities. Our program is open to all interested students. Students from backgrounds underrepresented in medicine, including Black and African American, Latino and Latina, and Indigenous individuals are encouraged to apply. Students who identify as underrepresented in medicine, or URiM, are encouraged to apply for the Department of Surgery URiM Acting Surgical Internship, which includes a stipend to support opportunities for exposure to our institution.
