General Surgery Residency

The General Surgery Program at HCA Healthcare/Mercer University School of Medicine in Trident Health is a newly accredited five-year program. The goal of the program is to prepare the resident to perform the role of a surgeon at the advanced level expected from a board-certified specialist, and teach them to direct inter-professional and multi-specialty teams necessary for the care surgical patients.

The education of surgeons in the performance of general surgery encompasses: didactic instruction in the basic and clinical sciences of surgical diseases and conditions; education in procedural skills and operative techniques; and preparation for the life-long provision of comprehensive care to surgical patients. As a resident, you will be exposed to experience faculty from multiple different specialties, have the ability to join local hospital committees, in addition to a pathway to develop opportunities with the HCA Enterprise.
