​Department of Surgery​

An Integrated Team with the Combined Talents of a Major Medical Center

The Department of Surgery offers extensive academic programmes for medical students, interns, residents and fellows. Our ten residency and four fellowship programmes provide a comprehensive learning experience in surgical disciplines taught through clinical and didactic sessions.  

Our academic mission is to train the next generation of surgical leaders and to advance the field of surgery through translational research. We work towards the mission by integrating education and research with clinical services, entailing a full range of surgical treatments including cutting-edge techniques, minimally invasive surgery and state-of-the-art procedures.​

​Residency Programmes at the Department of Surgery provide residents with the range and depth of academic experience and academic exposure required to develop superior surgical skills and an ability to make mature, informed, independent judgments. Graduates of the programme are expected to be superior general specialists. For surgeons or surgery, this level of capability is attained through a programme that offers extensive clinical exposure at every level of training.​​​
