General Surgeon Jobs in New York

A General Surgeon is a highly skilled professional in the medical field who specializes in performing various types of surgeries on patients. Their role encompasses diagnosing patients, determining the need for surgery, performing surgical procedures, and providing postoperative care. They may also conduct research and teach surgical procedures to medical students and residents. A general surgeon might perform a broad range of surgical procedures in various areas of the body, including the gastrointestinal tract, breast, skin, and soft tissues among others.

Before becoming a General Surgeon, individuals typically start as Medical Students, before advancing to Residency in General Surgery and potentially a Fellowship in a surgical specialty. Essential skills for this profession include manual dexterity, physical stamina, and a good ability to handle stress. Additionally, they must have keen attention to detail and excellent problem-solving skills. Certification from the American Board of Surgery or equivalent is typically required, ensuring the surgeon has met specific educational, training, and professional standards. Ongoing education is also crucial in this role due to the constantly evolving nature of medical knowledge and surgical techniques.
