General Surgery Residency
Work hard, provide exceptional, timely patient care, and have fun! This has been the core philosophy of our general surgical residency over the last 20+ years. Here at St. Luke’s the emphasis is on resident autonomy both inside and outside of the operating room to prepare you for the next level. Furthermore, our commitment to both research and leadership development ensures that our residents reach their full potential. The end result is a graduating surgical resident that is beyond competent and immediately ready to transition into a general surgery position or very competitive fellowship. See where our graduates have gone.
Additionally, St. Luke’s strong commitment to education and research ensures that your experience will be vast and will prepare you not only for the operating room, but life as a leader in the field of medicine.
“As soon as I arrived to Bethlehem, PA on the interview trail, I knew that st Luke’s would be my number one choice for surgical residency. From the interview dinner to graduation St Luke’s exceeded my expectations, and I’m so thankful for all the opportunities they provided me. All the residents are hard working, friendly, and smart! The attendings will know you by name, and will love to teach you to how to operate and be a safe surgeon. You will quickly learn that your attendings care about you, and it was an honor to learn from them. Don’t worry about volume or pathology here at this level 1 trauma center. Here you can easily pursue private practice straight out of residency, or the fellowship of your choice. If you dream it, the faculty at Saint Luke’s will work hard and make sure you reach your goals. Bonus point: The area is amazing with rolling hills, lakes, wineries, and great restaurants which provides an atmosphere for everyone, and work life balance to succeed. I highly recommend Saint Luke’s and would do it all over again. I would not have changed anything along the way.”

Our unique residency philosophy coupled with our ongoing resident success stories have created an “esprit de corps” that truly is second to none. Our residents and faculty genuinely enjoy coming to work each and every day – you will as well.
