STEP 230 Visa J1

The Marshall Community Health Consortium Rural General Surgery Residency Program is the first in the nation to be separately accredited with the ACGME Rural Track Program designation across all specialties. The program aims to train residents who will excel in rural community practice. Residents will partake in a tailored academic medical center-based training program focusing on rural challenges to provide comprehensive educational and clinical experiences. The small program size allows for enhanced learning, one-on-one time with attending physicians, and a close-knit peer group environment.

Residents will receive training at Logan Regional Medical Center by Dr. Jodi Cisco-Goff and Dr. James Paugh for at least fifty percent of the five years. Additionally, they will rotate in Huntington under the supervision of the full-time surgery faculty at Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine. Residents will also interact and learn from peers in the Marshall University General Surgery Residency Program virtually and in person throughout their training.

For further inquiries, candidates can reach out to the program at [email protected]. The significance of the interview season is highlighted, and the program leadership and faculty are available to assist candidates in their educational pursuits.
