| What I like about Sinai |
"The strong emphasis on operative skills teaching, academics, and research are unique for a community-based program. The high volume of a wide variety of cases is accessible to the resident from day one. The strong affiliations to the local major universities make it a great place to form professional relationships beyond Sinai Hospital." |

| What I like about Sinai |
"It is a unique residency program, in that it combines both worlds of community-based and hard-core academic training program. In addition to 'lots of operating' every resident is encouraged to engage in active research with some of the most reputed academic surgeons in the country. The faculty is very committed to making the program a great one." |
