As Chair of the department, I want to personally introduce you to the NYU School of Medicine Department of Surgery website.
The department’s plan for the future is built on a solid foundation established by my esteemed predecessors: Dr. Valentine Mott, Dr. William S. Halsted, Dr. Frederic S. Dennis, Dr. John H. Mulholland and Dr. Frank C. Spencer.
Our history of excellence in treating patients, teaching students and training residents continues today, paired with well-funded, state-of-the-art research that upholds our position at the forefront of the surgical field. Globally, we strive to maintain our status as the premier place for:
- Patients who want to receive the best care
- Faculty who want to pursue rewarding surgical careers
- Students who want to excel at a distinguished institution
The researchers, nurses, administrators, and staff of our department work together on a daily basis to achieve these goals and join me in welcoming you.
Sincerely,
H. Leon Pachter
The George David Stewart Professor
Chair, Department of Surgery
