GENERAL INFORMATION
House Staff
Operative Log Documentation
At present we participate in the ACGME web based recording
keeping program. Based on the requirements of the ACGME's
Residency Review Committee, each resident maintains a record
of all cases in which he or she participates. Recording of
the residents' operative experience is kept up-to-date with
the help of the program manager. Each house staff officer's
experience is periodically reviewed to ensure a complete and
balanced exposure to the components of general surgery is
obtained.

Ginzburg and Stoller Awards |
|
Each year the
Attendings in the Department of Surgery are asked to nominate two
residents whom they feel merit the honor of receiving the
prestigious Leon Ginzburg Achievement Award and the Norman E.
Stoller Award.
The Ginzburg
Award is for a current chief resident, completing the Surgical
Residency Program, who has demonstrated outstanding leadership and
surgical skills. This year’s award went to Kelly Ann Rippey, MD.
The Norman E. Stoller Award is presented to a preliminary house
staff member who will be leaving the program on June 30th.
This resident has shown outstanding qualities of devotion and
dedication displayed to their patients. This year’s recipient is
Cormac O’Neill, MD.
