Hear from our Residents

John Hanna

You will work with some of the friendliest people at CAMC, from staff to residents, they really make you feel like family. CAMC also provides a comprehensive training curriculum, with early operative exposure, which offers an unmatched educational experience in almost every area of general surgery. The program fosters a culture of collaboration, compassion and a wide range of technical skills, ensuring that every surgeon-in-training becomes a well-rounded professional.

Training at one of the largest hospital systems in the state means daily exposure to a wide range of complex and diverse cases. But more than just seeing the pathology, you're taught how to think: how to approach a case, build a management plan and navigate challenges with growing confidence. That kind of hands-on learning prepares you for real-world, independent practice.

For me, CAMC is not just a program; it became my home and family. It truly felt like a key fitting perfectly into its lock, and I truly believe it can feel the same for you.
