Thank you for your interest in the Surgical Training Programs at the University of Chicago and its affiliated hospitals. We have launched an exciting chapter in the history of our Department of Surgery. Thanks to the inspiring leadership of the Chiefs of Surgical Service over the recent years, we are poised to undergo expansion of facilities and personnel. This has been made possible by our high level of clinical activity and the consistent support of both the University of Chicago and the University of Chicago Hospitals. The ongoing recruitments of faculty are designed to allow continued growth in "cutting edge" clinical programs while maintaining the extraordinary achievements of our faculty, residents, fellows and students in research and other academic pursuits. We appreciate your enthusiasm in the surgical training programs and look forward to sharing our enthusiasm with you.

Jeffrey B. Matthews, MD, Chair of Surgery
