Our commitment to diversity, innovation, compassion, and safety is evident in everything we do, and we are proud to foster an inclusive and dynamic culture for our physicians, trainees, and patients.

Surgery Education

From medical school to fellowship, our trainees build a foundation of surgical knowledge and experience in an academic and collegial community setting. At NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island, we see a diverse patient population that is reflected in the composition of our faculty, residents, and fellows. As trainees progress through our programs and gain expertise in procedural skills and operative techniques, we provide personalized guidance to help them meet their professional goals.

Our General Surgery Residency provides physicians with high-quality, broad-based didactic and clinical training. We offer five-year categorical positions and two-year preliminary positions, giving residents the option to individualize their career goals.

Graduates of our program are frequently accepted to some of the most competitive fellowship programs in the country, including those offered by NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine.

Physicians who pursue subspecialty training in our Advanced Gastrointestinal, Bariatric, and Minimally Invasive Surgery Fellowship learn the latest techniques in laparoscopic and robotic surgery, with an emphasis on metabolic and bariatric procedures. Our fellows become skilled surgeons who are prepared to launch successful careers in this competitive field.
