General Surgery Residency

The general surgery residency training at Saint Louis University's School of Medicine is a well-organized and long-established residency that provides the clinical material and faculty expertise needed for graduates to become board certified, productive general surgeons.

Our residents gain operative and patient care skills progressively under the supervision of the general surgery faculty. First-year residents participate in all surgical activities. The first year also incorporates surgical specialties, such as genitourinary, neurological, orthopaedic, otolaryngology, and plastic surgery.

Didactic coursework and clinical exposure assure instruction in basic gastrointestinal and circulatory physiology, wound healing, shock, immunobiology and sepsis. Training is incorporated into six teaching hospitals:

The breadth of experience ranges from private practice to veteran affairs (VA) practice in academic and community settings. This broad experience allows residents to experience a variety of practice styles and learn a broad array of technical skills. The clinical programs at these institutions emphasize general surgery, pediatric surgery, vascular surgery, gastrointestinal surgery and cardiothoracic surgery across a broad variety of clinical settings.

Division Of General Surgery

The Saint Louis University General Surgery Residency was founded in 1950 and has been an integral part of Saint Louis University ever since.

Our General Surgery Residency is an ACGME accredited, five-year program. We train five residents per year to become well-rounded, broadly trained general surgeons equally suited for fellowship training, academic surgery, or private practice environments.

Our goal is to create board-certified general surgeons who are compassionate, clinically excellent, technically adept, and prepared for the career of their choosing. A weekly didactic curriculum, supplementary journal clubs, clinical research opportunities, and a variety of activities outside the hospital allow for a balanced residency experience. Depth of experience is not sacrificed for breadth, as a high acuity patient population allows for mastery of all facets of general surgery training.

Here you will find information about our program including our training locations, clinical and operative experience, alumni, current residents, faculty, and our application process.

The breadth of experience ranges from academic tertiary care to private practice, and from care of veterans to children. This broad experience allows residents to experience a variety of practice styles and learn a broad array of technical skills. The clinical programs at each of the affiliated institutions emphasize general surgery, pediatric surgery, vascular surgery, gastrointestinal surgery and cardiothoracic surgery across a broad variety of clinical settings.
