As the new chair for the department, my strategic plan for the UF College of Medicine - Jacksonville Department of Surgery is one of exciting new developments which build on the solid ground that has previously been established. The Department of Surgery has a strong reputation for training surgical residents and fellows, teaching medical students, performing state-of-the art translational and basic research, and excellence in patient care. My vision is one of sustained greatness that is achieved through our collective efforts and adherence to our mission, vision and values.

We have been able to attract several new, nationally-known surgeons to join the faculty. We provide the latest in high-tech, minimally invasive and robotic surgical technologies, and have many research initiatives underway. Our residency and fellowship programs continue to flourish, producing excellent clinicians.

This web site outlines the surgical innovations and new programs offered by our surgeons and staff, news regarding research and our educational programs, and information regarding accomplishments and appointments. Please feel free to contact me directly at michael.nussbaum@jax.ufl.edu or (904) 244-5502.

Sincerely,

Michael S. Nussbaum, M.D.
Professor and Chair, Department of Surgery; Program Director, General Surgery Residency; Program Director, Minimally Invasive Surgery Fellowship
