Program Contacts
Program Director
Senior Education Specialist
Our five-year residency training program is primarily based at the University of Chicago Medical Center, with specific rotations integrated at our affiliated hospital, NorthShore University Health System. We are uniquely situated on the Hyde Park campus of the University of Chicago, which is one of the top academic universities in the world and has been the home to over 100 Nobel laureates.
Kevin K. Roggin, MD
Professor of Surgery
All faculty are members of the Pritzker School of Medicine, and our medical center is part of the University's Biological Sciences Division and is headed by Kenneth S. Polonsky, MD, dean of the Biological Sciences Division and the Pritzker School of Medicine and executive vice president for medical affairs at the University of Chicago.
Our medical center holds distinction as a regional, national and international referral center for the specialized care of complex patients with a wide variety of challenging surgical diseases. In addition, we have a long-standing commitment to provide comprehensive care for our South Side community. Our goal is to train the best and brightest residents and provide them with the opportunity to seek top-flight fellowships and to eventually become leaders in academic surgery.
Chicago is an extraordinary city and our residency program provides a robust and diverse clinical environment with an ideal blend of community and academic surgical experiences. Our research opportunities are unrivaled, and our leadership is committed to providing a unique educational environment with committed faculty and incredible residents. We believe that after coming to the University of Chicago, you will find that our residents are an exceptional group of some of the most talented resident surgeons in the country.
How to Prepare for your Virtual Interview Day
The recruitment of outstanding medical students to our program remains the most important aspect of my job as program director. While there are many choices for your training, I believe that we offer candidates the opportunity to train in a world-class academic medical center, a nationally-recognized community-based, high-volume hospital system, and a busy urban trauma center. These distinctive environments provide our trainees with a diversity of experience that few other programs can match.
Our combined faculty at the University of Chicago and NorthShore University Health System are dedicated to training exceptional residents that have an interest in becoming leaders in academic general surgery and its subspecialties. UChicago Medicine began providing adult trauma care on May 1, 2018, through its Level 1 Adult Trauma Center. The adult trauma program adds to UChicago Medicine's pediatric trauma and burn services, providing the community a comprehensive system of care to treat the full range of trauma injuries in patients of all ages. Additionally in 2019, the institution received its 16th sequential "A" rating in patient safety from industry watchdog Leapfrog Group, and it achieved Magnet Recognition status from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, the gold standard for nursing excellence and high-quality patient care.
The Department of Surgery remains committed to supporting our residents' participation in research opportunities that are tailored to match their career interests. We organized a Resident Research Advisory Committee to assist our junior residents identify the best research opportunities in basic science, outcomes/translational research, surgical ethics, Surgical Education, or within one the University of Chicago's many laboratories. My job is to cultivate and organize an innovative training environment that operates within the structure of the ACGME guidelines, but that relishes our program's strengths as innovators in surgical education. Our residents are exposed to a comprehensive educational curriculum with access to a well-developed simulation training centers at both campuses. Our teaching services are led by Team Education Coordinators to provide our residents with consistent feedback before, during and after each clinical rotation. We have developed novel methods of assessing intraoperative teaching to maximize teaching experiences in the operating room. The Surgical Training and Assessment Tool (STAT), was developed by one of our trainees, to provide our residents with real-time feedback on their performance, technical skills, and case preparation. These assessments are used over time to identify areas in need of refinement and to identify areas of proficiency that will help us assess milestones in the Next Accreditation System.
We also have continued our yearly General Surgery Bootcamp, the PEER mentorship program and our Resident Acute Care Surgery Service.
GENERAL SURGERY BOOTCAMP FOR INTERNS:
This course includes an extensive OR orientation, participation in the ACS Entering Resident Readiness Assessment (ACS-ERRA), an interactive "mock pages" session, multidisciplinary presentations from both nursing and our hospital-based specialties and a technical skills lab led by Mike Ujiki, MD, and Konstantin Umanskiy, MD, on Endoscopic, FLS and live animal stations. Using the qualitative and quantitative assessments that were
generated during both the GME and General Surgery bootcamps, we were able to provide our categorical general surgery interns with a "level 0" or baseline milestone assessment in most of the ACGME competencies.
RACS:
To meet the ongoing challenges of incorporating increasing autonomy in our program, we have continued to offer rotations on our "Resident Acute Care Surgery Service". This exciting opportunity allows senior and chief residents the opportunity to
lead a team composed of a PGY2 resident and a surgical PA that manage basic general surgery patients. The chief resident is supervised by the on-call attending, but is encouraged to act in the capacity of a teaching assistant for their junior resident. We are incorporating simulation training, video-based feedback, and expert evaluations of intraoperative teaching skills to this service. We believe that this unique service enhances both the quality and efficiency of acute general surgery care
and provides an innovative model to promote autonomy within a well-supervised training program. (Ref: Implementing a resident acute care surgery service: Improving resident education and patient care.)
We take the time to get to know our residents. I believe that creating a collegial environment helps our resident mature into capable and well-trained surgeons. The humanistic aspect of professional development is just as important as the surgical skills that we teach. Please take the time to review our newly-designed website with more detailed information about the resources available at the University of Chicago. I hope to have the opportunity to meet with you during the upcoming interview season. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if I may be of further assistance.
Our comprehensive training program is set on an expanding clinical campus that starts right across the street from the main quadrangle of the University of Chicago. Indeed, we are one of the only academic medical centers in the nation that shares a campus with our home institution. Our residents can therefore take advantage of all that the University of Chicago has to offer, from lectures to food trucks to a gym and more.
The University of Chicago Medicine began providing adult trauma care on May 1, 2018; the adult trauma program adds to UChicago Medicine's pediatric trauma and burn services, providing the community with a comprehensive system of care to treat the full range of trauma injuries in patients of all ages.
In November 2019, UChicago Medicine announced that it earned its 16th sequential "A" rating in patient safety from the industry watchdog Leapfrog Group; immediately following, it achieved Magnet Recognition status, the gold standard for nursing excellence and high-quality patient care, from the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
The jewel of our medical center campus is the Center for Care and Discovery (CCD), our main hospital building, which opened in 2013. The CCD is one of the most advanced clinical and surgical centers in the country dedicated to specialty care, including cancer, gastrointestinal disease, neuroscience, advanced surgery and high-tech medical imaging. The new hospital was designed by world-renown architect, Rafael Viñoly, who created the acclaimed Charles M. Harper Center at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. This innovative hospital contains ten floors and over 1.2 million square feet for clinical activity. The CCD is an exceptional place to be a patient and creates an enhanced health experience that is focused on quality and safety. We believe that this inspiring atmosphere provides our trainees with a modern environment to learn surgery and conduct world-class research at the forefront of medicine. Our residents have access to state-of-the art simulation training at both the University of Chicago Center for Simulation and Safety and the Northshore Center for Simulation and Innovation.
Our general surgery residents undergo a comprehensive rotation that provides exposure to a diverse range of specialties, including thoracic surgery, general surgery, pediatric surgery, transplant surgery, vascular surgery as well experience in our trauma and burn units. Residents assigned to these services engage with patients across the care continuum in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
In addition to our esteemed attending surgeons, residents work alongside our clinical partners at NorthShore University HealthSystem. This close collaboration guarantees residents are exposed to gainful clinical experiences.
Residents log an average of 1,150 surgical procedures and critical care/trauma evaluations during their training, including 50 as Teaching Assistants (“TA” case) and 300 during their final year of training. Sixty-five percent of cases will be performed on campus, which includes the 10-story, 1.2 million-square-foot Center for Care and Discovery that debuted in early 2013, Comer Children's Hospital and Duchossois Center for Advanced Medicine. The remaining 25 percent of cases are performed at NorthShore. Services are staffed so that the resident has maximum responsibility and opportunity.
We offer formal teaching conferences to all residents throughout the year and in the subspecialties during specific rotations. General surgery residents acquire an in-depth knowledge of the pre- and post-operative care of acutely ill patients, the principles of surgical physiology and wound management, as well as the essentials of conventional and minimally invasive operative techniques.
In addition to resident/faculty and resident/resident interaction in clinical care situations, the core educational curriculum includes regularly scheduled didactic and interactive teaching during several weekly conferences, including:
- Grand rounds
- Morbidity and mortality conference
- Residents basic science/clinical case conference
- Surgical oncology conference
Our general surgery residents' educational experience is paramount to the overall residency program, which is why we've incorporated other unique program initiatives to enhance the education experience. One initiative that sets our residency program apart is the Team Education Coordinator program, in which a faculty member in each rotation oversees resident goals/objectives, progress and rotation evaluations. Our residency program also features:
- Portfolios
- Surgical education meetings
- Residents as Teachers and Leaders Program
- Teaching Effectiveness Program
- Resident retreats
- Quarterly resident town hall meetings
- Surgical skills curriculum, laparoscopic simulation centers
- Surgical Training and Assessment Tool/quality-based surgical training
- Quality improvement grant
- Mock oral exams
- International rotation in Santiago, Chile
The University of Chicago Medicine also boasts the first-ever surgical ethics program in the country. This program, spearheaded by Drs. Peter Angelos and Mark Siegler, is sponsored by the American College of Surgeons and provides an ethics curriculum for surgical residents. The program coordinates a weekly seminar series and monthly ethics case conference for residents and faculty.
Per the ACGME, programs are required to provide the information available at this link to applicants about Board Certification Eligibility.
To add to the clinical experience, residents have the option of devoting 24 months or more to basic science, clinical outcomes and/or translational research. Research experience is not mandatory but is elected by most residents and is strongly recommended for those planning a career in academic surgery.
The diverse research interests of our general surgery faculty include NIH-funded work in bacterial virulence, tumor immunology, molecular biology, as well as gene therapy of gastrointestinal malignancy and endocrine tumors. Ongoing clinical research includes participation in national cooperative trials of breast cancer, upper and lower gastrointestinal cancer, evaluation of inflammatory bowel disease and outcomes analysis in obese and critically ill patients.
Our residents are highly encouraged to submit their research presentations at national and regional meetings and conferences, including the annual Huggins Symposium here at the University of Chicago Medicine. Residents may choose to take additional time during their residency to pursue one or more of the following opportunities:
- MERITS
- Ethics fellowship
- SPORT
- ACS Scholar in Residence
To meet the needs of residents, the general surgery residency program established the PEER: Professional Empowerment and Education of Residents program in 2014.
Learn more about PEER and our wellness resources within our department and across the university.
Learn more about our efforts in diversity, equity, and inclusion.
We participate in the Electronic Residency Application Service, so please contact your medical school or the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates for instructions about the application process. In addition to three letters of recommendation, medical school transcripts, and the Dean's letter, we require United States Medical Licensing Examination scores. The deadline for applications is October 20.
The Residency Review Committee has approved our program for eight categorical residents and four non-designated preliminary resident positions; the preliminary positions can be filled by either PGY1 or PGY2 residents. In other words, if you match into a PGY1 preliminary position and complete the requirements of our program, we have the ability to offer you a PGY2 preliminary position in the following year. We will directly match all PGY1 positions through the National Resident Matching Program.
Interviews are by invitation only. The resident selection committee reviews completed applications and sends emails stating whether an interview has been granted.
Please feel free to contact Carmen Barr in our Surgical Education Office at (773) 702-6337 for additional information.
Interview Dates
We will interview the 2023 candidates for the General Surgery Residency on:
- Tuesday, October 4, 2022 - Military Interviews
- Saturday, November 19, 2022
- Saturday, December 10, 2022
We will conduct two virtual interviews dates: Saturday 11/19/22 and Saturday 12/10/22. The Saturday morning sessions will be a half-day of presentations and interviews with faculty. The event should conclude no later than 1pm CT. There will be a resident-only, virtual Zoom social event on the Friday evening prior to the interviews; attendance is strongly encouraged. Unfortunately, we will not be conducting in-person or “second-look” visits to our campus. To be equitable and fair to all applicants, we will not make exceptions to this policy.
Our committee plans to review all completed applications around the middle of October and will extend invitations in late October to 75 candidates to attend one of the two interview dates. Please note that we have a limit on the total number of students that we can accommodate on each interview day. We will give all students a 48-hour window to accept the invitation. We kindly ask that you only hold interview positions if you genuinely have interest in our program and plan to attend the event.
2022 Virtual Interviews
For the 2022-2023 academic year, the University of Chicago Department of Surgery is pleased to continue virtual interview days. Aside from encouraging limited movement in the continued fight against COVID-19, these virtual interview days will save you time and money, without sacrificing time
with our faculty or a sense of our programs.
