Each year the Society welcomes new graduates from the Department of Surgery’s training programs (general residency, cardiothoracic residency, plastic and reconstructive residency, as well as fellows graduating from Breast, GI/Endo, Pediatric, Transplantation and Vascular Fellowships) with a letter from the President and a gift from the Department of “A Proud Heritage: An Informal History of Surgery at Columbia”. Some graduates return to join the Columbia faculty while others spread their talents across the US.
