Providence General Surgery Residency Program - Administration

 
Laurence Y. Cheung, M.D. Chairman

 "Our general surgery residency program at Providence Hospital was recently approved for a five-year full accreditation without citations.  This approval is a continuation of a previous five-years full accreditation, an honor granted to only a few residency programs.  Dr. Vijay Mittal, program director, has provided superb leadership to the faculty and residents. Together, they have created a unique clinical teaching and learning environment with very high scholar productivity.  I am very privileged to be part of this outstanding residency program."

Vijay K. Mittal, M.D.
Program Director

 "Providence Hospital and Medical Centers is part of Ascension Health, comprising 68 health care facilities. It is a unique institution with a large volume of clinical and complex cases. The surgery residency is fully approved with a strong academic background and is supported by 14 other residences. Full-time teaching faculty and mentorship helped to secure a high board pass rate and future placement into a fellowship or surgical career."

William F. Oppat, M.D., Assistant Program Director

"Surgical education in the Providence Medical System shares with its University affiliated rivals the breadth of complex cases and depth of teaching, but provides them in a Community environment. The culturally diverse population of Metropolitan Detroit provides a plethora of patients. The institution is positioned well to grow in the 21st century."
