Redefining Humanly Possible
Our 6- to 7-year program provides exceptional training for residents pursuing careers in general surgery and the surgical subspecialties. Residents will become accomplished surgeons prepared for a successful career.
We want residents who ask questions, rise to challenges and work hard. We are looking for individuals who work together to solve problems,are self-driven to be lifelong learners and embrace forward-thinking medical practices. We want people who are invested in helping their patients not just get better, but live better.
Thomas Jefferson University Hospital is located in Center City Philadelphia, the heart of the commercial, historic and social districts.
From Intern to Chief (Videos)
- Each year seven interns are selected from 1600 applicants
- Residents complete at least 1200 cases during our program

- 93% of our residents pass the boards the first time - the highest of any residency in PA
We improve lives.
It’s such a simple sentence, you might not realize just how powerful it is. But at Jefferson, this is our commitment. To our patients. To their families. To our community.
