General Surgery Residency - Preliminary Position

S.U.N.Y. Upstate Medical University, located in Syracuse, New York, is seeking to fill a PGY-1 preliminary resident position in General Surgery beginning July 1, 2023.

Upstate Medical University is part of the much larger SUNY system; we are the only Level I Trauma Center in central New York and were the first trauma center in the state of New York that achieved both adult and pediatric trauma center accreditation from the American College of Surgeons.

We successfully recertified in 2021. We provide all General Surgery training experiences within the city of Syracuse. It is not necessary for any resident to rotate away from their home or family. Opportunities do exist however, for senior residents who elect rotations elsewhere. Our program has the great advantage of utilizing each of the five hospitals in Syracuse: Upstate Medical University Hospital, Syracuse Veterans Administration (VA) Medical Center, Crouse Hospital, and Upstate University Hospital at Community Campus.

This variety of work places offers the resident a different experience including private practice in General Surgery, Colorectal Surgery and Vascular Surgery. Upstate offers the tertiary care perspective and the VA offers the advantage of a resident led team approach to a wide variety of General, Thoracic and Vascular patients.
