Residency

It is with pleasure that I welcome you to the website of the General Surgery Residency program at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. The University of Nebraska Medical Center with its long cherished history is a premier academic institution excelling in all three fronts of education, research and clinical activities. The University of Nebraska Medical Center has for well over a century trained surgeons that have excelled and distinguished themselves in all walks of life.
The mission of our General Surgery residency program is to provide the highest quality of education in all aspects which ensures that our graduates are well rounded and adequately trained to enter this evolving world of Medicine. The principle of our educational efforts is to combine the best methods of the past with the introduction and assimilation of the newer methods such as simulation. Our training is undertaken at a diverse spectrum of settings from the academic University, Veteran Affairs and a community hospital setting. The residents are also provided with the opportunity to undertake research and scholarly activity in various avenues. We are also aware of the changing face of Medicine and have therefore developed avenues for International/Global Health rotations as well as are in the process of developing rural rotations. This wide spectrum of training opportunities provides our graduates with a wide career choice ranging from private practice to obtaining highly competitive Fellowships in academic centers across the nation.
We are committed in our efforts to providing you with the environment that will nurture you talents so that you can maximize your efforts in realizing your true potential. I hope you will find our website useful and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
