The
goals of the Surgery Residency Program at Memorial University
Medical Center in Savannah, Ga., are to prepare the resident to
practice safe surgery with sound judgment and to offer the education
needed to insure that the resident passes the qualifying and certifying
examinations of the American Board of Surgery.
The resident is offered increased responsibility for patient care
that begins on the first day of the residency and progresses to
supervised, independent clinical activity in the chief resident
year.
In addition to our core general surgery curriculum, we offer an
enhanced curriculum in hepatobiliary surgery, endovascular surgery,
and advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques. Our curriculum
promotes the use of technology and minimally invasive surgery and
includes a Web-based application, didactic lectures, laparoscopic
trainers, a laboratory animal facility, and surgical simulation.
Our list of specialties includes trauma/critical care, surgical
oncology, vascular surgery, colorectal surgery, pediatric surgery,
and minimally invasive surgery. Our graduates have gone on to pursue prestigious fellowships or work in private practice.
Our residents are involved in all levels of medical school teaching,
including clinical teaching, clinical experiences, departmental
conferences, lectures, and discussions. Each resident is required
to have a peer-reviewed article published before graduation.
The Department of Surgical Education at Memorial University
Medical Center trains Mercer University School of Medicine and Medical
College of Georgia third- and fourth-year medical students. The
students have a documented curriculum that is coordinated with the
curriculum being performed at the Medical Center of Central Georgia.
