Surgical Critical Care and Trauma Fellowship

The USC Department of Surgery has a long tradition of training excellent clinical surgeons.  A hallmark of the program is the incredible diversity of the training experience, including multiple major training sites.  The culmination of the training experience is the chief resident year, which is predominately spent at the Los Angeles General Medical Center.  The Chief Resident is responsible for running the various Los Angeles General Medical Center surgical services with attending supervision.  The breadth of pathology, severity of disease, and extent of autonomy afforded to the residents in this program is truly unique.  At the completion of 5 years of clinical training, the graduating resident will have the confidence to tackle any clinical situation, and will have gained extensive experience as a clinical leader.

Another unique feature of the USC surgical residency program is the unwavering commitment to surgical education from the department leadership.  The Department of Surgery earmarks over $1.5 million each year in support of the educational programs for residents, with a robust organizational structure that integrates clinical experience with the latest skills lab, simulation, and didactic instruction. This investment in resident education is protected; ensuring that all residents are able to participate in the curriculum without distractions or non-essential clinical duties
