General Surgery Resident Program

The General Surgery Resident Program is based at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis, Oregon and is affiliated with Western University College of Osteopathic Medicine Pacific-Northwest. Designated a Level-II Trauma Center, the flagship hospital is home to a robotic-assisted surgery epicenter, heart and vascular institute, comprehensive cancer center (collaboration with Stanford University) and an accredited weight management and metabolic surgery Institute.

Residents and fellows in this program receive training in general surgery, orthopedic surgery, internal medicine, cardiology, family medicine, psychiatry, dermatology and transitional program. Further training to round out the surgical experience includes rotations at Level-I Trauma Centers in Portland (OHSU and Legacy), exploring surgical ICU, burn, pediatric surgery, transplant and endoscopy. Special interest electives are also available.

The program is fully accredited through the American Osteopathic Association for two categorical positions each year, and we are actively pursuing transition to ACGME accreditation.
