Surgery

Welcome to Yale Department of Surgery, America’s premier center for patient care, clinical education, and life-saving medical research.

Our medical professionals are some of the world’s most accomplished surgeons, and we take special pride in training those who will go on to join their ranks, at Yale and around the globe.

We also conduct state-of-the-art medical research, paving the way for life-saving discoveries in the laboratory, in the operating room, and in medical technology.

While our business is medicine, our passion is people: those we serve, those we train, and those we will never meet, but who will benefit from the work we do each day. 

Our goals are to offer first rate surgical care, to train the future leaders of surgery, and to push the frontiers of surgical science.
