The general surgery residency at the University of Florida is an accredited, seven year program designed to train residents in either academic or private practice surgery, or to prepare them for fellowship opportunities. See examples of our current clinical rotation schedule across all training levels. We also have a robust surgical skills and simulation curriculum to supplement our weekly didactics.
