General surgery residency, hospital affiliations + community rotations
Our General Surgery Residency collaborates with multiple community hospitals to offer residents a broad surgical experience with diverse patient populations and case types. These affiliations help trainees develop a well-rounded skill set through exposure to both high-volume academic and community-based care.
MelroseWakefield Hospital
Located just north of Boston, MelroseWakefield Hospital serves as a vital community healthcare center. Residents rotate here during their PGY-1, PGY-3 and PGY-4 years, gaining valuable experience in vascular and general surgery cases. This rotation offers increased autonomy and decision-making opportunities while fostering efficiency and teamwork within a multidisciplinary care model.
Lowell General Hospital
Lowell General Hospital offers residents additional exposure to community hospital surgery. Rotations here help trainees develop skills in a community setting with a diverse patient population, complementing their academic training.
Boston Children’s Hospital
To provide comprehensive pediatric surgical training, residents spend two months at Boston Children’s Hospital during their PGY-3 year. This busy, hands-on rotation gives trainees exposure to a wide range of pediatric surgical cases, enhancing their clinical and operative skills in specialized pediatric care.
