Do you want to match to an exciting general surgery residency program and be part of an exceptional team? If so, McMaster University’s Niagara General Surgery Residency Program is the right choice for you. Our program has a culture of inclusivity, collaboration, and innovation. As a resident in Niagara, you can expect to learn and work alongside skilled and engaged faculty, providing care in modern facilities while living and enjoying the beautiful communities throughout Niagara. Our focus is on training you to become a confident, competent surgeon after 5 years of training. Your education would be primarily based at a community hospital offering you a unique training perspective. In addition to their core education we support our residents in pursuing fellowship training or research endeavours.
The Niagara General Surgery residency program is based at the St. Catharines Site of Niagara Health. The program offers a wide range of clinical activities and experiences within a community setting. The program is home to five residents, one in each year of training with visiting residents throughout the year. Eight faculty in St Catharines run two surgical teams and there are growing faculty numbers throughout Niagara Health. The residents and faculty work closely together and get to know each other well throughout the course of the program. The collegial culture is combined with robust clinical exposures through a full range of busy surgical services. The residents are supportive of each other and remain connected to the Hamilton program throughout their training.
