Excellence in Surgical Care and the Best Training Anywhere for Surgical Residents

The UCSF-East Bay Surgery Program is dedicated to providing the best surgical training anywhere.  Some other hospitals provide excellent surgical care - and we do too.  There are some systemic regional research institutes that make exciting contributions to science - and we do too.  But, what we do that is unique is training surgical residents.

Our program is composed of over 50 intelligent, diverse, industrious, heterogeneous and superb surgical residents matched up with an accomplished, accessible and supportive surgical faculty.  Acknowledging that almost all surgical interns are, as yet, undifferentiated, we envision ourselves as training surgeons for both academic/fellowships and/or private practice careers.  Similarly, we offer rotations at a large county hospital, a comprehensive managed care Kaiser system, the Oakland Children's Hospital, California Pacific Medical Center, and the Veterans Administration Medical Centers at San Francsico and Reno, Nevada.
