The objective in the Residency Training Program is to develop medical officers in the field of General Surgery so that they may be capable of performing adequate surgical treatments when necessary in any future duty assignments. In addition, it is the purpose of the Department to prepare and train candidates for examinations for certification by the American Board of Surgery, and for membership in the American College of Surgeons. The program has been ap- proved by the American Board of Surgery, and it fulfills all requirements for certification. The Teaching Program centers around the Ward Medical Officer, who is under the direct supervision of the Chief of Surgery. The Training Program of each resident conforms to the requirements of various specialty Boards, the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals, the American Medical As- sociation, and the American College of Surgeons. The resi- dents are rotated every three months, during the four year program, to provide full participation infall surgical depart- ments in related activities. Basic Science lectures and labora- tory work are given as fundamental in General Surgery. In each branch of the Department training is given in sur- gical diagnostic procedures, pre- and post-operative care, and operative techniques. When the resident is deemed capable, he is allowed to perform surgical procedures com- mensurate with his skill and experience, under the supervision and with the assistance of a trained surgeon. The plan is for the work and responsibility of the resident in each succeed- ing year to correlate with that of the preceding year, and for the nature of the work to be of progressive character and type. All residents attend organized conferences and clinics. Clinics held weekly include Tumor Boards, General Surgi- cal Conference, Basic Science Lectures, Clinical Pathological Conferences, Staff Meetings, Gastrointestinal Conferences, and Surgical Grand Rounds. Each resident, when reporting to duty, is encouraged as soon as possible to select a topic for research, which may be clinical, or one that is conducted in the Animal Laboratory. The results of the research are usually presented in a written thesis which, in most cases, is published, and presented to local and national surgical organizations.
