Welcome to the Medical College of Wisconsin General Surgery Residency Program! Our mission is to foster the professional and personal development of our residents. Residents in our program have a broad exposure to complex quaternary care at our main Froedtert & MCW Hospital campus, in a wide range of surgical sub-specialties, including surgical oncology, colorectal, minimally invasive, bariatrics, trauma, critical care, vascular, transplant and thoracic surgery.
