5-year program
The Arnot Health General Surgery Residency Program offers an excellent training experience for residents who plan to pursue a general surgery practice and those who expect to specialize further. Our general surgery faculty has appointments with Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City and residents will experience a wide variety of surgical cases. Our 5-year program prepares residents to sit for the American Osteopathic Surgery Board examination.
Our goal is to train residents to become well-rounded, community-based general surgeons who possess the skills necessary to make an impact on their patients, communities and profession.
