There’s nowhere quite like New Orleans, and living here means experiencing far more than Mardi Gras. Music, food, festivals, professional sports, neighborhood traditions, and a culture built around gathering are part of everyday life.
New Orleans offers the amenities of a major city while remaining remarkably accessible. Residents can explore world-renowned restaurants, live music, museums and sporting events, often within minutes of home. And when there’s time to step away from the hospital, there is always something happening, from a neighborhood festival to a Saints game or an afternoon in Audubon or City Park.
That sense of community extends into the Tulane General Surgery Residency. Our program has deep roots in New Orleans, and our residents train in a city whose people, challenges, and traditions shape the physicians and surgeons who care for them.
Our residents frequently describe the relationships they build with one another and with faculty as one of the program’s greatest strengths. You don’t just train in New Orleans. You become part of it.
