The General Surgery Residency at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine provides an unsurpassed educational experience. We train our residents to become skilled surgeons who are committed to delivering compassionate and safe patient care.

Led by Loretto A. Glynn, MD, Program Director, Jun L. Levine, MD, Associate Program Director, and Owen Pyke, MD, Associate Program Director, our approach to residency education is fueled by our commitment to diversity, innovation, and professional development. Through a rigorous, multifaceted curriculum at NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island, we strive to exceed expectations by fostering an academic culture that is as diverse and inclusive as our community—a place where people from different backgrounds and disciplines can collaborate with one another and achieve educational and career milestones.

Accepted residents are assigned a faculty mentor, and this serves as the initial framework for their professional development. By the end of their training, our residents easily complete the extensive requirements for certification by the American Board of Surgery.

For those who seek subspecialty training, the Department of Surgery sponsors an accredited Advanced Gastrointestinal, Bariatric, and Minimally Invasive Surgery Fellowship. Additionally, we collaborate with Stony Brook University in an accredited fellowship in vascular surgery, and additional fellowship programs are being planned. Since the establishment of our program, our graduating residents had a 100 percent fellowship match rate, and all of our chief residents matched in their desired specialties. All of our graduating residents with specialty matches matched in their desired specialties, which include cardiac surgery, plastic surgery, thoracic surgery, colorectal surgery, transplant surgery, hand/microsurgery, and vascular surgery.

In addition to the breadth of clinical material for hands-on experience, clinical and basic science research is available for those who wish to pursue these areas. We now offer a research track with time allocated for dedicated study and research. However, participation in laboratory research is not a requirement in our program.

Resident Wellness

Our residents are a diverse group of individuals who support each other both in and out of the operating room.

Outside of work, we promote the health and wellbeing of our residents. This includes exploring local restaurants, playing soccer, or taking a break from the hospital and exploring the beautiful Long Island scenery or heading into the bustling scene that is New York City.
