St. Agnes Residency Programs:
A
Rich Tradition of Educational Excellence
Established
in 1906, the St. Agnes surgical residency program is the second oldest
in the United States; the medical residency was founded shortly thereafter.
Today we are a comprehensive health system—physicians, hospital,
diagnostic imaging center, cancer center, ambulatory clinics and
other provider relationships—all
uniquely qualified to guide you on your educational journey.
St. Agnes is a full-service community teaching hospital
with residency programs in a number of medical and surgical subspecialties.
Its primary mission continues to be service to the poor and medically
underserved. It also attracts referrals from across the country for its specialized programs.
The Ideal Environment for a Practical Education
Your
residency will be based primarily at St. Agnes Hospital, with rotations
at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and the University of Maryland. Exceptional
support services, such as nursing staff and IV teams, allow the resident
physician to concentrate on the care of patients and other academic pursuits.
The general surgery resident is exposed to all subspecialties, resulting
in a broad-based surgical experience. At St. Agnes you will learn patient
care in the most practical sense.
