Marcie Feinman MD, MEHP, FACS
It is our pleasure to welcome your interest in our surgical training
program and to provide a brief overview.
First and foremost, our goal is to train broad-based, highly qualified
surgeons who can provide excellent care to patients with a wide range of
surgical diseases. To this end, we have designed a training program that
emphasizes education over service and offers training in all major
surgical subspecialties. A well-chosen blend of hospitals, rotations and
faculty exposes our residents to all facets of modern-day surgery to
facilitate realistic and well-informed career choices in both academic
and non-academic settings.
Knowledge is the most powerful tool we possess as surgeons. The Sinai
Surgery Residency strives to foster an environment of learning and
research (basic and clinical), which enables our graduates to critically
appraise surgical literature and keep abreast of surgical advances years
after graduating from the program.
The landscape of surgery is changing constantly. Surgeons today must
acquire knowledge and skills that reach beyond the classic teaching
models of surgical education, and cover such topics as leadership,
business and systems management, health care finance and politics.
To train surgeons to meet the demands and challenges of tomorrow, we
have incorporated a unique value-added year of training into our
residency design. During that year, the resident may choose to complete
a one-year executive MBA program, an MPH program, a year of research or
a trauma/critical care fellowship, thereby leaving our program with
substantial added qualification. Other appropriate options for this year
may be explored on an individual basis.
Below, you will find brief descriptions of the history of the program
and our vision and mission. Please feel free to browse the remainder of
the residency website for additional information.
I wish you the best of luck as you embark on your surgical career.
