General Surgery Residency Program
General Surgery Residency Program
Our general surgery program is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in our patient care and in how we support each other within our profession.
Welcome from the Program Director
At Bassett, we believe that surgical education is not only about mastering procedures, but about shaping thoughtful, compassionate leaders in healthcare. As a rural community program with a long-standing tradition of excellence, our mission is to train the next generation of surgeons who are deeply connected to the communities they serve — clinically, ethically, and culturally.
