Governance of the Program
The Metropolitan Group Hospitals Residency in General Surgery is administered by a residency governing board (the Surgical Joint Conference Committee, or SJCC) comprised of the chairpersons and directors of surgical education at the four MGH hospitals as well as the Chairman of the Department of Surgery at Illinois Masonic Medical Center along with a few active members from each institution. The SJCC is responsible for planning educational programs, selection and assignment of residents, and resident appraisal and evaluation. Administration of the program within each institution is the responsibility of that hospital's chairman of surgery and director of surgical education.
