General Surgery Rotations

Our residents do rotations in the surgery departments of all three teaching hospitals in our residency program. Central to their experience are their rotations at Stony Brook University Hospital. These rotations take place on the surgical services run by the various divisions in the Department of Surgery. The information here provides an overview of each of the rotations done at Stony Brook. Below is a representative sample of rotation schedules of categorical PGY-1 and PGY-2 residents (note: individual resident rotation schedules vary).
