About the Program

Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center (LAMC) has offered an accredited General Surgery training program for over 40 years. Our goal is to train well-rounded, clinically competent general surgeons. Graduates of the program are well prepared for the clinical practice of surgery and for the pursuit of subspecialty fellowships of their choosing. Your active involvement and early clinical responsibility are integral components of our learning environment. Because our commitment is to train general surgeons who can confidently enter practice without the necessity for further specialty training, we have no surgical fellows whose presence might dilute your experience.

Each year, we accept 3 categorical residents and 5 preliminary residents to our program. We graduate 3 chief residents per year.
