Mission Statement for the General Surgery Residency at Stamford Hospital

“To provide the best possible education for our residents in a manner consistent with the ACGME and the American Board of Surgery coupled with genuine compassion, empathy and integrity”

Our mission is more than just training our residents, as we would wish to be trained ourselves. It is doing what we know is best in a principled manner to assure that they are properly conducted through their training period. To accomplish this goal our endeavors will conform to best practice guidelines supported by “evidence based” medicine and as such we will lead by example. We will advocate for better healthcare in our community and for patient centered services and demonstrate the importance of this advocacy to our trainees. Through our understanding of clinical research, we will identify innovations and apply therapeutic advances to everyday practice in a safe and careful manner and illustrate this approach to our trainees. A commitment to medical education is part of the history of Stamford Hospital through which we have learned that by educating our surgical residents and colleagues; we evaluate our own efforts and standards. The educational process requires us to improve our interpersonal and communication skills with our colleagues and to connect with our patients so that medical changes can improve our practices, our resident’s preparation for practice and enhance the lives of those we treat.
