The Veterans Affairs Medical Center has general surgery and vascular surgery services; each includes interns and junior residents and is headed by chief residents. A wide variety of surgical procedures are performed with special emphasis on gastrointestinal, head and neck, and vascular surgery. In addition, residents rotate on the cardiac surgery service, urology, orthopedics and neurosurgery. The VAMC supports a 14-bed surgical intensive care unit where a surgical resident is also assigned.
