Hospitals & Rotations

The Department of Surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital provides extremely well rounded and in depth surgical rotations in order to prepare surgical residents to pursue any area of practice or further fellowship training they may desire. The bulk of general surgery residency training is carried out at Good Samaritan and Bethesda North Hospitals, though surgical residents do rotate through other distinguished institutions in the Greater Cincinnati Area. Through our strong relationships with our neighboring institutions, we are able to offer outside rotations in trauma, hepato-biliary surgery, and the surgical / trauma intensive care unit at the University Hospital, burn surgery at Shriner's Hospital for Children, transplant surgery at Christ Hospital, and pediatric surgery at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Rotations in these renowned facilities provide residents the opportunity to interact with every aspect of Cincinnati's diverse patient population, as well as learn from and formulate lasting relationships with other academic leaders in surgical education.
