About
Norwalk Hospital, founded in 1892, is a non-profit community teaching hospital and Level II Trauma Center serving a population of nearly 250,000 residents in southwestern Connecticut. The Norwalk/Yale Physician Assistant Surgical Residency is an intensive, twelve-month program conducted jointly by the Departments of Surgery at Norwalk Hospital and Yale University School of Medicine. The program accepts nine-twelve PA residents each year. Through the combined efforts of both institutions, the curriculum offers the graduate PA a dynamic and educational experience. The comprehensive curriculum at Norwalk Hospital includes a structured series of lectures, reinforced ongoing clinical responsibilities including pre and post-operative care, and intra-operative assisting. Lectures cover core topics in the broad range of surgical specialties, clinical anatomy, and all aspects of surgical care, both operative and non-operative. Additional didactic elements include Grand Rounds, Morbidity and Mortality Conferences, Trauma Rounds, and an informal journal club. Yale provides an intensive cadaver lab for anatomic instruction and a live animal surgery lab. The Department of Surgery at Norwalk Hospital does not have a surgery MD Residency program, providing every opportunity for surgical patient care to the PA trainees with direct supervision from a staff PA or attending physician.
