The Department of Surgery’s residency programs at Weill Cornell Medical College and NewYork-Presbyterian train exceptionally qualified surgeons who have the skills and ability to function at the highest level while providing compassionate patient care.
Our mission is to produce surgeons who are not only technically superb but also well-grounded in the basic science of surgery and equipped with sufficient clinical judgment to render complete care of the surgical patient.
Each program is under the supervision of the chair of the department, the Program Director and a large full-time and volunteer faculty.
We are committed to promoting the development of our residents in clinical and innovative realms, providing them with the essential tools to lead the next generation of surgeons.
