Are you looking to get into the general surgery residency program of your dreams? We’ve got you covered! Here, we’ll give you the inside scoop on which general surgery programs have the highest and lowest publications, MD-PhDs, AOA, and Gold Humanism members among matched applicants. So, if you’re curious about general surgery or have a specific program in mind, you can learn all the details you need to maximize your chances of becoming a general surgeons.

Which General Surgery Programs Require the Most Research?

As discussed previously, matched general surgery applicants have moderate numbers of abstracts, presentations, and publications.

But how many publications are expected of each general surgery residency? Here, we’ll discuss which programs have the most – and fewest – publications among their residents. That way, you can make an informed decision and feel hopeful about getting into the program that’s right for you.

Let’s look at which general surgery residency programs have the most – and least – publications among their members. (NOTE: the data here report the Average number of peer-reviewed publications among matched applicants. This is more narrow – and restrictive – than the “abstracts, presentations, and publications,” measure found on ERAS and reported by the Charting Outcomes in the Match reports.)

Which General Surgery Residency Programs Have the Most MD-PhDs?

General Surgery Programs with the Highest Percentage of MD-PhDs

Here are the general surgery programs with the highest reported % of residents who were graduates of MD-PhD programs:

Duke University Hospital Program (20%)
Stanford Health Care-Sponsored Stanford University Program (15%)
Johns Hopkins University Program (15%)
The MetroHealth System/Case Western Reserve University Program (14%)
Massachusetts General Hospital Program (13%)
University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School Program(10%)
University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Program (10%)

General Surgery Programs with the Lowest Percentage of MD-PhDs

While having an MD-PhD can give you a leg up on matching into general surgery, note that there are many (many) programs without an MD-PhD among their residents. In fact, there were only 53 programs that reported having any graduates from MD-PhD programs.

Which General Surgery Programs Have the Most AOA and Gold Humanism Honor Society Members?

Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) and Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS) memberships are two important factors in the general surgery residency matching process. AOA recognizes students and residents who excel academically, in leadership, and in professionalism, while GHHS recognizes individuals who demonstrate exceptional qualities in patient-centered care and humanism.

As noted before, AOA membership is associated with an increased likelihood of matching into general surgery.

Here we list the US general surgery residency programs and the % of their residents who were AOA or GHHS members. Note you can search for individual programs, sort the data, and many other useful things in your general surgery residency search.

General Surgery Programs with the Most and Least AOA and GHHS Members

The general surgery residency programs with the highest reported percentage of AOA members are:

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Program
University of Michigan Health System Program
McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University Program
University of North Carolina Hospitals Program
Washington University/B-JH/SLCH Consortium Program
New York Presbyterian Hospital (Cornell Campus) Program

The general surgery residency programs with the lowest reported percentage of AOA members are:

Methodist Hospital (Houston) Program
Allegheny Health Network Medical Education Consortium (AGH) Program
SUNY Upstate Medical University Program
Atlantic Health System/Morristown Medical Center Program
Eastern Virginia Medical School Program

Are AOA Numbers Artificially Low in the Most Competitive General Surgery Residency Programs?

As we can see above, while AOA and GHHS membership can be beneficial, it’s not necessarily a critical factor in being accepted into a general surgery residency program.

For example, the Harvard general surgery program only had 51% of its residents with AOA membership and only 16% with GHHS membership. (The Harvard general surgery program is Massachusetts General Hospital/Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Brigham and Women’s Hosp Program).

So, why might some of the most competitive general surgery residency programs have fewer AOA and GHHS members? One potential explanation is that some of the most prestigious medical schools don’t have AOA chapters. For example, the medical schools at Harvard, Stanford, Yale, and UCSF all lack AOA chapters.

Ultimately, it’s essential to remember that AOA and GHHS membership can be important factors in getting accepted into a general surgery residency program. However, they’re not the only ones. There are plenty of other ways to make your application stand out, such as having strong USMLE scores, letters of recommendation, and a well-crafted personal statement.

Concluding Thoughts

Publications; AOA and GHHS membership; and having a PhD can all benefit an application into general surgery. However, as we can see, different general surgery residency programs have different expectations as to what they are looking for in applicants.
