Education and Clinical Training

The General Surgery Residency at Duke strives to produce graduates who are not only expert surgeons and researchers in their chosen fields and specialties, but also possess critical skills and competencies that are essential to providing world-class, life saving surgical care to all patients.

With rotations that span multiple disciplines and locations around and outside of Durham, a robust, ever-evolving program of resident conferences and skills training, and opportunities to participate in and lead groundbreaking research, the Duke General Surgery Training Program's educational framework continues to set our graduates apart.
