The resident team at DGMC provides coverage for general and vascular surgery patients. In addition to surgical residents, there may be family medicine, and transitional residents participating on the team. Medical students from Department of Defense scholarship programs and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences rotate for specific general and vascular surgery rotations. Residents function as part of this combined team.
A unique environment is present offering exposure to contingency readiness, disaster preparedness, Global Reach, diverse care settings, and joint VA/DoD medical programs. Residents experience practice-based learning and improvement that involves investigation and evaluation of their own patient care, appraisal and assimilation of scientific evidence, and improvements in patient care.
