The University of Cincinnati College of Medicine Department of Surgery.

The University of Cincinnati College of Medicine Department of Surgery has a legacy of discovery, transformation, and education that began more than 200 years ago. Through collaborations with related disciplines at the University of Cincinnati, industry, the government and military, as well as our partners in the community, we look forward to new innovations to continue the legacy and our ongoing mission to provide the best possible surgical care, research, and education of our future surgeon leaders. Our mission remains: 1) To provide comprehensive surgical services for Cincinnati and the surrounding region; 2) To train the next generation of surgeon leaders; 3) To advance the state-of-the-art and scientific basis of the discipline of surgery; and 4) To provide leadership in ensuring surgical health care for all members of the Cincinnati community. These principles have always been part of our legacy and ongoing challenges as an academic department of surgery. It is a proud tradition that we embrace and will carry into the future.
