The Creighton University Surgical Residency Program emphasizes the clinical and investigative foundations of surgery. Our training program consists of five clinical years of instruction.
The stable and progressive growth of our training program has enabled exposure to a broad patient population base from many socio-economic backgrounds, as well as a wide diversity in training sites. These offer perspective from academic, community, and private practice focus profiles. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive surgical education incorporating diverse operative experiences, structured didactic sessions, and mentoring by internationally acclaimed faculty. In addition, the clinical experiences add immeasurably to a resident’s medical knowledge, diagnostic ability, and surgical confidence.
