A Message From Our Chief Residents

At Danbury Hospital, our General Surgery Residency Program is more than just a place to train—it’s a supportive, inclusive community where residents grow into confident, compassionate surgeons. We come from diverse backgrounds and work together in a collaborative, respectful environment that extends beyond the hospital.

Whether it’s celebrating the holidays as a group, enjoying dinners after a long shift, or organizing nights out in nearby cities, our residents form lasting bonds that go beyond the walls of the operating room. This camaraderie translates into a collegial atmosphere where teamwork thrives and no one is left behind.

Clinical training at Danbury Hospital is rigorous and well-rounded. Residents gain exposure to a wide variety of surgical cases, supported by dedicated faculty and a full simulation center that sharpens technical skills. Research and mentorship are integral parts of our program, offering opportunities for academic and professional growth.

What truly sets us apart is the culture. We value compassion, hard work, and mutual support. Our residents celebrate each other’s successes and lift one another during challenges. We are proud of the environment we’ve built—one that fosters learning, personal growth, and professional development.

If you’re looking for a surgical residency that offers excellent training in a close-knit and inclusive atmosphere, Danbury Hospital is the place to be.

Warm Regards,

Karri, Natasha, Mary Kate, and Patra
