Welcome to the Department of Surgery
Our Divisions
Welcome to the home page for the Department of Surgery at Stanford University
School of Medicine. The Department is dedicated to providing optimal
patient care, delivering outstanding undergraduate and graduate education
and to further the field of surgery through a commitment to basic science
and clinical research. We carry a long history of leadership in education,
research, and clinical care. Dr. Emile Holman, the last Halsted trained
resident at Johns Hopkins, served as the first Chairman and first Professor
of the Department during his tenure (1926 to 1955). The tradition of
excellence started by Dr. Holman continues to this day through the work
of over 280 faculty, residents, and staff. Each year we provide care
to more and more patients and expand our contribution to the field. More ![]()
