 The Department of Surgery offers approved residency programs in Cardiothoracic
Surgery, General Surgery, Plastic
Surgery, and Urology. All programs
are approved by the ACGME and their respective specialty boards. The primary
objective
of these programs is to provide superior training in the clinical aspects of
each specialty. Program graduates are well prepared to sit for their respective
certifying examination. This is accomplished in an academic environment where
operative surgery is closely fused with teaching and research. Surgical residents
are expected to participate in teaching medical students and their fellow residents.
Residents have the opportunity to participate in research during the clinical
years. Research fellowships are available for those residents who wish to gain
a particularly strong research background in preparation for an academic career.
All programs are resident-friendly and non-pyramidal. Selection is based upon
academic records, recommendation letters and interviews without regard to race,
color, religion, gender, national origin, marital or veteran status, age, or
disability. Residency programs at the University of Mississippi Medical Center
require state licensure. Successful completion of Step 2 is required for UMMC
employment and Mississippi State Medical Licensure. An applicant without United
States citizenship must have a J-1 visa or a Permanent Resident Card in order
to be employed as a resident at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
UMMC will require each resident to submit to a drug screen immediately upon
arrival on Campus or during the initial orientation program. In keeping with
new federal and state laws about healthcare workers, every new UMMC employee
must submit to a background check, fingerprinting, and execute an affidavit
about prior civil or criminal convictions.
Individualized information for each program can be found under the "Residency" tab.
Candidates for residency in Urology should also review the Division of General
Surgery section for information on the first year of the program in General
Surgery. You are encouraged to write to the specific program director for further
information.
