An optional laboratory experience of two or three years is available leading to Master of Science, Doctor of Science or Ph.D. degrees, if desired. The residency program in General Surgery is fully accredited by the Residency Review Committee for Surgery. In the first and second postgraduate years, residents receive a broad experience in the essential content areas as well as in surgical specialties. Experience is gained in both inpatient and outpatient care, with appro priate emphasis on evaluation and diagnosis as well as operative therapy and perioperative care. This experience is obtained in a variety of settings including the general surgery services in community hospitals and the academic medical center, intensive care units, the Shriners Burns Hospital and the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. During the third and fourth clinical years, the resident is given additional responsibility as a leader on surgical teams including the trauma service, cardiothoracic surgery, vascular surgery and transplantation surgery. Additional experience is also gained as senior resident in general surgery. Two months of the third clinical year are spent at the Holzer Clinic. This modern, multi-specialty clinic is located in Gallipolis, Ohio, a rural area in the Appalachian foothills. Vast experience is obtained at the Holzer Clinic in general surgery as it is more broadly defined in a non-urban setting. In the fifth year, Chief Residents lead each of the three general surgery teams at The University Hospital, the general and colorectal surgery service at The Christ Hospital, and each of the two general surgery teams at the Cincinnati Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC). Each of the teams at The University Hospital is composed of faculty members with similar interests and provides extensive experience in gastrointestinal disease, hepatobiliary disease, pancreatic disease, colorectal surgery, surgical oncology and endocrine surgery. The Christ Hospital is a large tertiary care hospital located approximately 1.5 miles from The University Hospital. Residents there take advantage of a wide variety of surgical pathology including an extensive colorectal surgical practice and have the opportunity to learn about the private practice of surgery. The Cincinnati Veterans Affairs Medical Center is the major tertiary care surgical hospital for veterans in southwest Ohio. It is located on the same campus as The University Hospital. The two surgical services at the VAMC each care for general surgery, vascular surgery and thoracic surgery patients. One of the special features of the training program is The Mont Reid Surgical Handbook, recently published in its fifth edition. Named for Dr. Mont Reid, the second Christian R. Holmes Professor and Chairman of the UC Department of Surgery, this very popular pocket-size handbook intended for medical students and residents is a compilation of the practices of UC general surgery residents with assistance from resident colleagues in neurosurgery, plastic surgery, urology, anesthesia, pharmacy, orthopedics, as well as law. Written entirely by the residents and edited by the chief residents, the Handbook is broad in scope and crosses many specialty boundaries, reflecting the philosophy of the training program.
