Probably the most challenging, exhausting, and rewarding times in a surgeon's vocation are the years he or she spends in residency. A surgeon's education is always a work in progress, but it is at its most intense during those years as a house officer.

By choosing a stable residency program that offers solid academics, an extensive spectrum of clinical experience, and innovative research opportunities, you will acquire a foundation of knowledge that will benefit you throughout your entire career. For over 50 years, the University of Puerto Rico, Department of Surgery has been offering just such a program.
