NYU Grossman School of Medicine Program

The NYU Grossman School of Medicine offers a five-year clinical General Surgery Residency program in Manhattan starting on July 1 each year. The program accepts eight first-year categorical residents annually, and additional residents match to preliminary positions before specialty training. Accredited by the ACGME, the residency prepares residents for ABS certification and competitive fellowship programs.

The residency includes comprehensive clinical and operative experience, diverse research opportunities, and a strong emphasis on teaching. Training sites include NYU Langone's Tisch Hospital, NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue, and the VA NY Harbor Healthcare System. The curriculum covers various specialties such as trauma surgery, colorectal surgery, surgical oncology, and more, with residents gradually assuming higher levels of responsibility.

NYU Grossman School of Medicine encourages diversity and actively recruits a diverse group of trainees, supporting individuals from underrepresented backgrounds in medicine. The program offers a structured didactic program, including lectures, conferences, and research opportunities. Additionally, residents have access to benefits like medical insurance, vacation time, and wellness initiatives.

The General Surgery Residency program accepts applications through ERAS, with a deadline of October 31 for an official start date of July 1 the following year. International medical graduates are welcome, with J-1 sponsorship available through ECFMG. Application requirements include a medical school transcript, dean's letter, letters of recommendation, and USMLE Step 1 completion; Step 2 scores are required upon program selection.
