Alumni Profiles

The mission of the BIDMC General Surgery Residency Program is to train future leaders in American surgery.

The best measure of our success is our alumni, many of whom hold leadership positions in major academic medical centers throughout the United States and all of whom, in myriad ways, are shaping the future of American surgery through superlative clinical care, innovative research, and visionary leadership.

On the following pages are stories of some of our recent and longtime alumni, who generously shared some of their experiences and impressions of their general surgical training at BIDMC and its predecessors, Beth Israel Hospital and New England Deaconess Hospital.

Someday, perhaps, you will be among those we profile on these pages. Until then, we encourage you to learn about our residency program through the stories of those who experienced it: our alumni.
