What Our Residents Say...

"I was attracted to the University of Rochester General Surgery Residency  for many reasons and it was my very last interview. First, the resident camaraderie was obvious; I had not encountered a group of residents that loved each other more than this group. Second, residents had a record of matching into outstanding fellowships. And third, I was eager to do research with a pre-existing group with resources while also obtaining my Master of Public Health which was available through SHORE."

"The program fully supports research and education endeavors. Our attending are collegial and I’m lucky to call many of them my mentors."
