PGY-4 Categorical General Surgery Resident

PGY-4 Categorical General Surgery Resident

The MercyOne Des Moines General Surgery Residency Program has an opening for a categorical PGY-4 resident to begin July 1, 2026. We are a small to medium-sized program with four categorical residents per year, with no preliminary residents and no surgical fellows, which allows our residents robust operative exposure at each level of training. Please note, we are only able to sponsor J-1 visas at this time.

Applicants must have completed three years of an ACGME accredited surgical residency program in the United States and be in good standing.
