Consistent with the vision of the Geisinger Health System, our residency program emphasizes excellence, innovation, growth and human values. 

The website provides you with the history, philosophy and in-depth understanding of our training program. As you will learn from this website, we strive to produce critically thinking surgeons who are both lifelong learners, as well as leaders in a constantly changing environment. We hope our prospective residents take advantage of some of the unique features of our health system:

• It is among the one of largest in Pennsylvania with a population reach of two million
• It continues to grow as a network of community, long-term and tertiary facilities
• It is among the leaders in health care quality initiatives in the U.S., having a robust Center for Quality Management
• It functions as one of the best run corporations, emphasizing learning and human capital growth; last, but certainly not the least, it has an Outcomes Research Institute that houses research programs that rival the best in the country.

We take special pride in presenting our department as a center of excellence, which will be palpable during your visit. Our full-time and voluntary surgeons work as a team to deliver highest quality of education for our students, residents and fellows.

We invite you to visit the medical centers and meet with our house staff and attending faculty. This will provide us with the opportunity to become acquainted and give you a chance to see our training program in action.
