Overview

Our residents operate early and often. We graduate surgeons who can get into some of the most competitive fellowships in the country but would also be qualified to go directly into practice as a general surgeon. We offer excellent/unique experiences in burn, robotic, and trauma surgery. We work at high acuity hospitals with large underserved populations. This program has a family atmosphere and all of the unique opportunities of living in Las Vegas. Please consider joining our family.
