OVERVIEW
Welcome to Harborview Medical Center’s General Surgery program.
Harborview Medical Center is located in downtown Seattle and is one of the main training sites of the University of Washington’s School of Medicine. Teaching future physicians and surgeons has been the heart of our academic mission since the first graduating class in 1950.
Being the only Level 1 Trauma Center in our region, Harborview provides a unique training environment. A team approach is emphasized and during your rotation here, you will have the opportunity to work alongside colleagues from other surgical programs in the city, physicians from other specialties, and individuals training in other disciplines.
Our program is dedicated to providing quality surgical education and patient care in a public hospital setting with tertiary care expertise and resources. We emphasize close collegial relationships between attending surgeons, fellows, residents and staff.
There is ample opportunity for academic enrichment and inquiry and we welcome you to Harborview.
